Europe PMC is developed by the EMBL-EBI (European Bioinformatics Institute), an outstation of the EMBL. A grant has been awarded by the Wellcome on behalf of the Europe PMC Funders to Dr Jo McEntyre to maintain and develop Europe PMC from 2016 to 2021.
Europe PMC has an international, independent Scientific Advisory Board that advises the PI of the Europe PMC grant and the Directors of the EMBL-EBI. The Europe PMC Funders are represented by the Funder Committee. These groups are instrumental to the strategic direction and governance of Europe PMC.
The EBI Literature Services Advisory Board meets annually and advises the EMBL-EBI on all aspects of the Literature Databases and Services, putting the development of these resources in the context of the scientific community within Europe and beyond. More specifically for Europe PMC, they review progress on the development of the service over the past year, and the plans for development for the forthcoming year. They advise the Europe PMC Funder Committee as to the overall effective use of funds from the Europe PMC grant. The Scientific Advisory Board members are:
The Funder Committee meets twice a year to review completed development, comment on future development and approve the release of funds on behalf of the Funders’ Group.
The Funders' Group consists of representation from all Europe PMC Funders and meets annually.
