TitleEDCTP Call for Proposals: Evaluating the Impact of Clinical Trials in Africa
Deadline15th November 2010
DetailsThe European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) invites project proposals in response to the call regarding the impact of clinical trials in Africa. This grant is aimed at gaining comprehensive insight into the impact of clinical trials on health services in sub-Saharan Africa, especially with regard to the quality of those services delivered to women and/or children.
Emphasis should be placed on evaluating the impact from the perspective of patients; health professionals; the community; and, public health services at the sites in sub-Saharan Africa, where the clinical trials are being conducted.
The project should be designed so that the outcome could contribute to the development of methods to further embed clinical research within the health services. This is important since it is the health services that that would eventually be responsible for implementing the (new) interventions resulting from the clinical trials.
This call offers consortia senior public health/social science researchers from Europe and sub-Saharan Africa the opportunity to apply for a 1-2 year research grant to investigate the impact of EDCTP and non-EDCTP funded clinical trials in sub-Saharan Africa.
