Leprosy Research Initiative - Call for proposals 2016 (€ 50,000)
The Leprosy Research Initiative (LRI) is pleased to announce a call for proposals for funding commencing in 2016. The LRI exclusively funds research on leprosy or that is strongly related to leprosy and welcomes proposals for all five LRI research priorities. To be considered for the budget round 2016, LoIs should be submitted by February 28th, 2015.
The Leprosy Research Initiative is a combined venture of the Netherlands Leprosy Relief (NLR), American Leprosy Missions (ALM), German Leprosy and Tuberculosis Relief Association (GLRA) and effect:hope (The Leprosy Mission Canada). Guided by an allied policy with clearly defined research priorities, the four partners decided to (among others) establish a joint fund to support leprosy research.
Among the priorities of the LRI, research to ‘Promote inclusion of persons affected by leprosy in society’ is currently underrepresented. Therefore, the LRI will reserve € 100,000 of the 2016 budget for pilot projects with a maximum total budget of € 50,000 per project specifically for applications addressing inclusion research. Researchers interested to apply for funding by the LRI are invited to complete and submit a Letter of Intent (LoI), giving an outline of the intended research.
Please check the Leprosy Research Initiative's joint policy for all five research priorities.
