The EFINTD Fellowship Programme aims to build up a cadre of African researchers in the field, strengthening African research institutions in the process. It fosters the development of translational or operational research into NTDs in Sub-Saharan Africa that is locally originated and locally led. As well as funding pure scientific research, for example on how effective various drugs are, the programme seeks to strengthen public health research, for instance on drug delivery systems.
This postdoctoral funding scheme is supporting fellowships both for junior researchers who have recently completed their doctorate studies and experienced researchers ready to take on larger research programmes. Specifically, the EFINTD Fellowship Programme:
20 Fellows are being funded under the first two calls for applications. A third call is in process - with the final decisions taken at an international conference in Maputo in January 2012.
