EDCTP Career Development Fellowships 2019

The purpose of this Call for Proposals is to support early to mid-career researchers (“fellows”) by providing them with an opportunity to train and develop their clinical research skills.

The objectives are:

1. to promote retention of postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate medical researchers in the research field of sub-Saharan Africa
2. to equip the fellows to establish themselves as independent researchers with the ability to initiate their own research teams at host institutions in sub-Saharan Africa.

Projects funded under this Call for Proposals should:

• contribute towards the achievement of SDG3 ‘Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages’
• promote career progression
• encourage entry and reintegration of African scientists trained abroad and
• enable the retention of postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers in their respective research fields and that the researchers develop into independent researchers and team leaders in sub-Saharan Africa.

Close date: 27 November 2019.
