LRI Spring Meeting 2024 & Highlights event – Save the dates!
The LRI Spring Meeting is an annual event that brings together researchers of LRI-funded projects, the LRI Scientific Review Committee and Steering Committee as well as Partners of the LRI. Nearly forty researchers will present project progress updates and results during this year's edition, which will take place in the Netherlands on the 17th, 18th and 19th of April. Limited places are available for self-funded persons with a keen interest in leprosy research who wish to attend but are not otherwise invited.
Following the in-person event, an online 'Highlights of Spring Meeting 2024' event will be hosted on the 30th of May (14:00-16:30 CEST), where findings of selected projects across LRI research priorities will be presented. This event is open to everyone interested in leprosy research and will be free of charge.
Updates on these events will be provided through our newsletter, website, and LinkedIn channel in due course.
The countdown has started! ⏰

New publication: "Money matters: Priorities in leprosy research funding"
At the most recent International Leprosy Congress, the Leprosy Research Initiative and The Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy took centre stage with a compelling plenary session: "Money matters: Priorities in leprosy research funding."
This session aimed to provide the audience with valuable insights into allocated research funding and priorities from 16 NGOs organisations over 2017-2021 while promoting alignment and encouraging collaboration. Total funding reached close to $10M per year, for research infrastructure, personnel, projects and awarded grants. It was heartening to see global organisations openly sharing details about their funding and choices in leprosy research.
LRI actively supports leprosy research across all five key priorities. The live audience at the congress identified LRI as one of the key funders they received grants from over the last 5 years. In addition, many expressed they were not successful in securing funding for their proposed research projects from any organisation.
Although the findings from the publication on the session underscore there is funding available for leprosy research across many organisations, an evident gap with funding needs remains. The session highlighted a critical area for further required resources and a more in-depth exploration of the funding landscape for a more complete and nuanced overview.
Let's continue to shine a spotlight on leprosy research, supporting collaboration, gaining insights and working towards a future free from the burden of this disease!.
