Career Development Fellowships in Poverty-Related Diseases

Career Development Fellowships in Poverty-Related Diseases

The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) is seeking proposals for Career Development Fellowships in poverty-related diseases and child and adolescent health.

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

The objectives are:

To promote retention of postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate medical researchers in the clinical or field research areas of sub-Saharan Africa

To equip the fellows to establish themselves as independent researchers with ability to establish their own research teams at host institutions in sub-Saharan Africa.

Proposals should enhance the ability of the fellow to design, plan and execute clinical biomedical and/or social science/ethics research projects within the scope of the EDCTP2 programme.

Due to the extraordinary global crisis of COVID-19 that is also affecting African countries, this topic should also be considered by applicants.

Funding Information

The call budget is EUR 3.75 million.

The requested EDCTP contribution per action should not exceed EUR 150,000.

The funding level is 100% of eligible costs.

The maximum duration of the proposed action is 36 months, with a foreseen start of the action no later than 1 October 2021. Proposals from women are encouraged.

Expected Impact

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 of researchers in Africa

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 at host institutions in sub-Saharan Africa.

Ultimately these grants will contribute to the generation of a critical mass of clinical or field/social science/ethics researchers and institutional research capacity in sub-Saharan Africa.
