2009 African Doctoral Dissertation Research Fellowship Call

The African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC) and the  
International Development Research Centre (IDRC) are pleased to  
announce the second Call of the ADDRF awards. The fellowship program  
awards dissertation fellowships to African doctoral students enrolled  
in sub-Saharan Africa universities who are conducting health-systems  
or sexuality related research.
By providing financial and research support, the program aims at  
encouraging doctoral students to pursue their training in the region,  
and thus contribute to the quality of university education in sub- 
Saharan Africa.
Specifically, this project aims to:
Shorten the amount of time it takes to complete doctoral studies
Strengthen the quality of these dissertations and the candidates
Retain a new generation of highly skilled and locally trained African  
scholars in research, policy and academic positions within the region

Eligibility
The African Doctoral Dissertation Research Fellowships are awarded to  
advanced doctoral students who are within two years of completing  
their doctoral thesis at an African university. The fellowships target  
individuals whose research show great promise of making substantive  
contribution to strengthening health systems or show great promise of  
enhancing the understanding of governance, equity, health or  
population-related issues in Africa. The program primarily supports  
doctoral research (including data collection). Coursework is not  
considered for support.
2009 Call for Applications
This year, the program is offering 15 fellowships to doctoral students  
in sub-Saharan African Universities. Students from Francophone  
countries can now download both the 2009 Call and application form in  
French and may submit their applications in French as well.
The Call and application forms are available below. The deadline for  
submission of applications is the 30th of April.
The English and French versions of both the Call and application form  
are attached.
Potential applicants are welcome to send queries and applications to
