27 January 2017 – Eight new implementation research proposals have been selected for the Joint TDR/ World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean Region Small Grants Scheme. Projects are on neglected tropical diseases, malaria and tuberculosis.
The goal of these grants is to strengthen the capacity of individuals and institutions in low- and middle-income countries to conduct implementation research and identify solutions that respond to health needs in their countries. The scheme 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.
