Leprosy Mailing List – December 22, 2015
Ref.: (LML) Announcement LRI
call for proposals
From: Nicile Dinnissen, Amsterdam, te Neterlands
Dear all,
The Leprosy Research Initiative (LRI) is pleased to
announce a call for proposals for funding commencing in 2017. The LRI
exclusively funds research on leprosy or that is strongly related to leprosy
and welcomes proposals for all five LRI research priorities.
Among the priorities of the LRI, research to
promote ‘prevention of disabilities for persons affected by leprosy’ is
currently underrepresented. Therefore applications addressing or including this
subject are most welcome. Applications from or including African countries will
be given priority. LRI funds in 2017 are very limited, because of a large
number of ongoing multi-year projects. Only in exceptional circumstances will
an award be made in excess of €50,000 per year.
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. The LoI should use the format provided on the
LRI website (www.leprosyresearch.org ). Applications
that do not follow this format will not be considered.
An LoI may be submitted at any time during the
year. However, to be considered for the budget round 2017, LoIs should be
submitted by February 28th, 2016 at 24:00 (Amsterdam time and date)
by email to the LRI Secretariat, c/o Ms. Nicole Dinnissen (info@leprosyresearch.org).
This letter will be screened by the LRI Steering Committee (SC). If the
feedback by the SC is positive, the applicants will be invited to submit a full
proposal before the next deadline (June 1st 2016).
Best regards,
Nicole Dinnissen
