Dear all,
Please find below several grant and training opportunities. Please push your staff to apply, there is true chances to benefit.
In particular, try to send at least one already skilled resource person (permanent staff) per institution to training opportunities when these opportunities meet your needs, so they can bring back reinforced and substainable skills to the institution and be referents for students (shared knowledge make it easier to build capacities).
Candidates to the GCP/GCLP courses who belong to Afrique One subawardee institutions should put the afrique...@gmail.com adress as a copy when applying, we may support some people for registration and maybe transportation and accommodation to help attending this training.
Good luck
Aurélie

2014 African Doctoral Dissertation Research Fellowships (APHRC, IDRC)
Aim: The ADDRF Fellowship Program seeks to facilitate more rigorous engagement of doctoral students in research, strengthen their research skills, and provide them an opportunity for timely completion of their doctoral training. The Program targets doctoral students with strong commitment to a career in training and/or research. The overall goal of the ADDRF Program is to support the training and retention of highly-skilled, locally-trained scholars in research and academic positions across the region.
Target : PhD Students citizens or permanent residents of a sub-Saharan African country conducting PhD research into health systems or health policy at an African university, and expecting to finish within two years from now.
The Program has also reserved a small number of fellowships specifically for doctoral students conducting research on health inequities in urban areas or the reproductive health of marginalized urban communities. These fellowships are funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Deadline : March 20th 2014.
