Call for proposals: Research capacity strengthening grant

Strengthening research capacity has been one of LRI’s main objectives since the start of the Initiative which we are committed to support further. Grant is aimed at early career researchers. Project duration must not exceed 24 months and total budget must not exceed €20,000.

The focus of the research should be leprosy – including research applications combining leprosy with other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) or other diseases or disabilities that share cross-cutting issues with leprosy. Please note that the emphasis of this call is on the capacity strengthening of the early-career researcher conducting the project. The project scope/topic does not need to focus on capacity strengthening.

The online portal will open for applications (in English) on December 2nd, 2024 and will close on January 24th, 2025 at 17:00 (CET). For all the eligibility criteria please review LRI's website.
