TDR has launched a new short term grant for research capacity strengthening in its website (http://www.who.int/tdr/grants/empowerment/en/index.html).This is a new short-term grant scheme designed to bridge strategic gaps in research capacity and knowledge management to help researchers and health professionals increase their contribution in addressing issues related to disease control. Building on past investments in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), the grant provides support to individuals or research teams to:


  • expand their scope of knowledge and/or skills, and contribute to long-term achievements and sustainability of research efforts leading to health improvement

  • address specific research capacity or knowledge management aspects that can advance the understanding, analysis and ways of finding solutions to public health problems

    Dear Vijayasree

    Thank you for your email. Your study sounds very interesting.

    Would you mind clarifying your question? Do you mean, what sort of study would fit best with the grant? Or what should be your endpoints?

    Thank you
    The Editorial Team
