Neglected tropical diseases continue to affect millions across Africa, undermining health systems and community resilience. Strengthening local leadership and research capacity is critical to achieving the global 2030 roadmap for elimination and control.
This opportunity supports African researchers and institutions to lead implementation and operational studies that address urgent NTD challenges. Early‑career scientists can gain hands‑on experience in research design, grant management, and collaboration, while mid‑career researchers can expand or deepen existing projects. The program emphasizes South‑South and North‑South partnerships, ensuring that African priorities drive innovation and impact.
Applicants must align proposals with national NTD programme priorities and demonstrate potential to strengthen both institutional and individual capacity. Career‑break researchers are also encouraged to apply, reflecting the program’s commitment to inclusivity and diversity in science.
💡 Grants available up to USD 30,000 for early‑career projects, with additional streams for mid‑career researchers.
