Scholarships Description: All EDCTP-funded projects are undertaken in partnership with sub-Saharan African countries. The partnership ensures synergy and optimal use of resources, creating a win-win situation for all parties. Purpose of this grant Many sub-Saharan countries still lack competent ethical review capacities and in some cases this also applies to the national regulatory framework. The purpose of this grant is to: 1. Promote the establishment and strengthening of National Ethics Committees (NECs) and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that are competent and independent in sub-Saharan countries. The NECs and the IRBs are encouraged to establish themselves administratively and financially to ensure sustained optimal function beyond the EDCTP funding. Strengthening of NECs or IRBs aims at making them operational and gives support to their ongoing functions. Networking and training is encouraged and supported. Additional support in the form of online literature access, documentation, access to websites on ethics and GCP may be facilitated 2. Encourage IRBs in countries where NECs do not exist, to contribute to the formation of a NEC. Where neither NECs nor local IRBs exist, EDCTP will encourage nationally recognised institutions or scientists affiliated to an established in-country institution to be contacted, in order to initiate the formation of the NEC.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 December 2011
