  Hi Everyone,
  an excitign grant writing workshop is being organised at the University of Yaounde 1 by ISRECA and other collaborators.

  Grant Writing for Emerging Career Researchers
  July 15-17, 2015
  University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon
  Objectives and aim:
  The demand for new staff members to close the gap in manpower in Institutions of Higher Learning in Cameroon is quite high. In 2011, about 1000 new and young lecturers were enrolled in State universities in Cameroon. The newly recruited staff members are eligible to apply for small grants from institutions like the EU, WHO/TDR, WELLCOME TRUST, TWAS, DFG, IFS and the Grand Challenges that provide such grants. However, due to the competitive nature of international funding, and the lack of experience in research methodologies and proposal writing the success rate of these ECR is very low and accounts for the gap in terms of research output in Cameroon and the Central African Sub-region in general. While it is hoped that institutions like ISHReCA will continue to advocate for specific grant schemes to target countries in this region like the WHO/TDR small country grants, it is imperative to empower young researchers in this region with “grantmanship” skills to be able to compete internationally.

  The Department of Biochemistry, University of Yaoundé 1 and IFS alunmi (ACBIFS) through funding from AuthorAid (INASP) in connection with the Initiative to Strengthen Health Research Capacity in Africa (ISHReCA) will like to implant the spirit of grant writing in these emerging careers researchers, by organizing a workshop on how to write scientific proposals and apply for research grants. This workshop will regroup at least 30 participants.

  Dear Guewo

  thank you for your comment. We are indeed uploading more eLearning courses all the time: keep an eye on the eLearning pages for more. We know that the eLearning centre is extremely popular and one of our main focusses is indeed creating a high volume of high-quality courses to keep up with the demand.

  The eLearning courses are created from face-to-face courses that researchers are completing: they volunteer to share their teaching materials and work with Global Health Trials to turn these into eLearning courses. If any of our members would like to share materials from courses you have taught, please get in touch at info@globalhealthtrials.org.

  Thank you
  The Editorial Team

• Kameni Mireille 10 Dec 2012

  Hi everybody, I am a PhD student at the University of Yaounde 1 and my main duty in the laboratory of Animal physiology is to perform histological analysis for various project but i would like to broaden my horizon in research and to interact with many scientists while discussing througn forums, workshops or conferences. That was the reson why i attempt to the last workshops organised by GHT at the BTC Nkolbisson Yaounde. It was a real satisfaction to learn so many things in just one day, i just imagine what it can be in many years of research...So thanks!

• Kameni Mireille 5 Dec 2012

  I am a one year-PhD student at the University of Yaounde 1 and i'ù working on erectile disorders (physiology) for my PhD thesis. But my tasks in lab is performing Histopathology analysis for many projects. I would like to attend to more conference such as those organised by GHT at BTC of Nkolbisson last week, because we need to exchange with scientists in different areas of specialisation to improve our way of thinking or our practice in Lab, and also to keep in touch with novel rules or technology. Thanks to give us this opportunity.

• Atah Jude 4 Dec 2012

  Hello all, i am a final year medical student at the faculty of medecine and biomedical sciences and was a participant at the very enriching workshop that was organised by globalhealthtrials in at the BTC Nkolbison Yaounde.I wished the conference could extend and will be pleased to see more of such conferences in Cameroon to help young students wanting to dare into research.Thanks very much.

  The team in Cameroon need to been congratulated for their huge success and effort in this fantastic workshop that they ran in Yaounde. This effort illustrates exactly what Global Health Trials is all about and what can be achieved by sharing experiences and knowledge. This workshop successfully bought together people working on all types of trials in all types of roles in order that they can support more and better trials in their country. Well done Innocent - you worked very hard indeed to make this happen and the success of the meeting is credit to you. Thank you also to all the speakers and everyone that took part. As the discussions where so interesting and beneficial it would be excellent to carry them on via these discussions. Not only will people get the chance to answer questions that they still have - but also that very many more will benefit from the exchange as these are read by thousands of people. So please everyone - do use these discussions to post your views, experiences and questions.

  Hello All,

  Just to mention we had a very successful workshop in Yaounde on the 28th. Thank you all participants for flooding the whole place and giving me the challenge of the month. I liked every session of the workshop and most especially the many feedbacks from you the participants. With lots of questions generated from the presentations, we hope to create in the next few days a space for 'ask the expert' where you can paste your questions and let the experts answer and assuage the desire.

  We will also welcome more remarks about the workshop on the website.

  A special thanks to all the speakers who left their many duties to share knowledge and experience to other researchers, students, managers, laboratory scientists etc during the workshop. We will also be making available the slides on the website so anyone can have a share of the workshop presentations.

  Very best
  Innocent

  Pleased to be on board. I'm a Research scientist/Biochemist in the Institute of Medical Research and Medicinal Plants Studies (IMPM), Yaounde, Cameroon. I'm really pleased to see that this aspect of research is co-ordinated and encouraged in our region, which is in dire need. Look forward to learning as well as making valuable contributions.
