The Union has recently launched a fellowship programme targeting early career researchers (ECR) working on population and development issues in Africa including Family Planning/Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (FP/SRHR), with the aim of building a critical mass of ECRs with expertise in population analysis, research, and communication. The fellowship is part of a larger programme called ‘Support for African Research and Data Use Capacity Building’, “AfRes-Data” for short, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. AfRes-Data aims to strengthen the capacities of African population scientists to generate cutting-edge research to address population and development issues in Africa through capacity development of the next generation of researchers, by creating platforms for data use, dissemination, and networking, and by increasing UAPS’s capacity to achieve its mission and objectives.
UAPS therefore wishes to request institution’s professional expertise to develop and implement the ECR programme’s training curriculum comprising modules on research design and methods, grant writing and management, data analysis and scientific writing, followed by a six-month mentorship programme.
To submit a proposal, kindly review the terms of reference and send your proposals via email to [email protected].
Application Deadline:
Interested organisations must submit the aforementioned documents to UAPS through the following email [email protected] 30 June 2022 by midnight (GMT).
