| Digital Square identifies through our [[Grant_Solicitation_Processes#Open_Application_Process_.28OAP.29 | Open Application Process (OAP)]]. Digital Square’s OAP (referred to as Notices) provides an iterative open application process that gives applicants the opportunity to find collaborators and provide and receive feedback from peers. Notice calls are delineated by particular thematic or program-focused areas. An important aspect of the Notice(s) is that the review of applications and the investment selections are done through the engagement of a Peer Review Committee and Investment Review Committee (respectively).

The Global Goods Review Board will meet quarterly to consider the PRC's recommendations and decide whether to accept, reject, or request additional review. All applicants will be notified of the decision. Successful applicants will be added to the Global Goods Interactive Guidebook and will be publicized through our communication channels. |

| Digital Square's Peer Review Committee (PRC) comprises a diverse set of the foremost leaders and thinkers in digital health technology including country governments, donor organizations, implementing organizations, technology vendors, and other constituencies. The PRC plays a critical role as technical experts who assess the technical and programmatic appropriateness of submitted concept notes and applications through Digital Square Notices. The PRC provides feedback, which helps the Digital Square Board to prioritize investments in high-quality digital health products and services.

| Through this process the tools and approaches submitted to the Notice are validated as global goods through a consensus approach of the broader public and digital health community represented by the PRC.

| == How to become a global good ==
| |
| | |
| As global goods are identified and approved through the Digital Square Notices, for a tool to be identified as a global good it must have a successful outcome in an active Digital Square Notice.
| |
| | |
| In addition to this a tool can align itself to the principles of being a Global Good and ensure that it meets the criteria of the definition of a global good (see above) and undertake a self evaluation of its own maturity using the [[Global_Goods_Maturity#Digital_Square_Maturity_Model_Details | Global Goods Maturity Model]]. The Global Goods Maturity Model helps identify areas of investments for global goods, as well as provides a view of the tool, community and use that can guide tool owners in making decisions as to how and where they would like to invest in maturing their tool.

Digital Square uses an open call system on the Wizehive portal to identify global goods. To be considered a global good, applicants must meet certain minimum requirements, such as having an open license, and complete a checklist to confirm their eligibility. Once the minimum requirements are met, applicants must fill out an application form and complete a self-assessment using the Digital Square Maturity Model (for software or content).
The Peer Review Committee will then review all the applications and make recommendations. The Global Goods Review Board will meet quarterly to consider the PRC's recommendations and decide whether to accept, reject, or request additional review. All applicants will be notified of the decision. Successful applicants will be added to the Global Goods Interactive Guidebook and will be publicized through our communication channels.
