The Early Career Grants Programme 2022 is open for applications from early career researchers and global health professionals based anywhere in the world, who have not had research funding in their own name before. They can apply for a grant of up to £5,000 (GBP) to deliver a project over one year. The projects can be on any topic related to tropical medicine and global health, from across the research spectrum of lab, translation, implementation, and policy. Applications can be in any area of tropical medicine or global health.
The objective of this call for proposals is to support the development of national and/or regional policies and actions based on scientific evidence and data. This includes for example (but is not limited to) the development of a national approach to sustainable financing, the development of a national approach to equitable governance and/management effectiveness, or the identification of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).

The European Commission is a member of the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD), an alliance of international funding agencies representing over 80% of the world’s public health research funding and the first collaboration of its kind to specifically address non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The GACD supports implementation science to improve health outcomes. This topic is launched in concertation with the other GACD member's funding agencies and aligned with the GACD call 2021.
Gilead welcomes funding requests for innovative, high-impact projects. Their grantmaking in Africa focuses on the following therapeutic areas:
Within these therapeutic areas, they provide support for a broad range of activities, including:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) provides support for activities central to the refinement and completion of a study protocol and procedures necessary for implementing a clinical trial to evaluate interventions (or new treatments) that restore vision in humans through the regeneration of cells in the eye and visual system. Applicants may use this grant to support the development of a detailed MOP; conduct non-clinical (non-human) work to collect safety/toxicity data; and/or conduct preliminary studies to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of regenerative strategies.
