GRMAB functions to:
- Provide professional medical and scientific guidance in the design and implementation of Cure HHT's research programs and strategic initiatives
- Ensure that the medical and scientific aspects of Cure HHT's activities are at the forefront of current knowledge and professional standards

To wrest from nature the secrets which have perplexed philosophers in all ages, to track to their sources the causes of disease, to correlate the vast stores of knowledge, that they may be quickly available for the prevention and cure of disease - these are our ambitions
~ Sir William Osler
