The World Health Organization Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO) and the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) are pleased to announce the 2018-2019 call for applications of the Joint EMRO/TDR Small Grants Scheme (SGS) for implementation research in infectious diseases of poverty.
The goal of the TDR strategy is to foster research on infectious diseases of poverty that lead to health improvement, strengthen research capacity of individuals and institutions in developing countries and develop implementation strategies and solutions that respond to the health needs of these countries. It also aims at translating research results into policy and practice, improving health and promoting the engagement of individuals and communities in using research evidence to reduce the disease burden in their respective countries.
This call supports evidence generated from local research for the prevention and control of tropical diseases in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) countries and takes into account the outcomes of two EMRO activities: a workshop on Regional Health Research Prioritization (Feb 2018) and a special meeting for identification of TDR priorities by WHO/EMRO technical units (April 2018). The call emphasizes the importance of using implementation/operational research for ALL of the priority topics listed in the attached call description and welcomes research which links more than one priority in the list.
Please consult the file below for details on eligibility criteria, selection process, funds, study duration and application process.
Please note that the applications must be submitted by email to the Coordinator, Research Development & Innovation & TDR Focal Point, EMRO at: emrgotdr@who.int.
