From:  Anniek Akerboom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

 

 


Dear colleagues,


Below the list of new publications you will find a section with interesting events. This time it also includes recordings of the GPZL & WHO webinar on persons affected and SDR-PEP and The Leprosy Mission and DPI's COSP13 side event on the rights of women affected by leprosy.

Are you a researcher looking for funding? Leprosy Research Initiative (LRI) is pleased to announce a call for proposals for research projects starting  in 2021. LRI funds research with a focus on leprosy – including research applications combining leprosy with other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) or other diseases that share cross-cutting issues with leprosy. Proposals addressing any of the five research priorities are eligible to apply for funding in this call. Researchers are invited to complete and submit a Letter of Intent (LoI) through an online application portal. Deadline to submit LoI: January 29th, 2021 at 23:59 CET. More information on the call criteria and application procedure: see leprosyresearch.org/funding/apply-for-funding

We are happy to share that the Leprosy Review volumes from 2002 - 2020 are back online and can be found at leprosyreview.org/volumes. We are collaborating with Leprosy Review to ensure that the publications will again be accessible through the Infolep portal as soon as possible. 

This monthly review includes important WHO documents on contract tracing and PEP, the Global Leprosy Strategy and the NTD Roadmap. Furthermore, it provides the GPZL research agenda for zero leprosy and many other interesting publications. Feel free to contact me to receive full-text versions if these cannot be found through the Infolep portal. Also, I would be happy to assist you with literature searches.

Warm regards,

Anniek Akerboom
