The 2012 ADDRF seeks to facilitate more rigorous engagement of doctoral students in research, strengthen their research skills, and provide them an opportunity for timely completion of their doctoral training. The fellowship targets doctoral students with strong commitment to a career in training and/or research. The overall goal of the ADDRF program is to support the training and retention of highly-skilled, locally-trained scholars in research and academic positions across the region. The ADDRF will award about 18 fellowships in 2012 to doctoral students who are within two years of completing their thesis at an African university. In this phase of funding and in consideration of IDRC?s health programming priorities, candidates whose dissertation topics address health policy or health systems issues will be given special consideration. The Program has also reserved three fellowships for doctoral students conducting research on health inequities in urban areas or the reproductive health of marginalized urban communities. These three fellowships are funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The ADDRF awards are funded through IDRC?s International Fellowships Program. For more information on the project and a list of successful ADDRF candidates, see here.

For countries that have been more successful implementing Open Access, the portal highlights critical success factors and aspects of the enabling environment. For countries and regions that are still in the early stages of Open Access development, the portal identifies key players, potential barriers and opportunities. http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/portals-and-platforms/goap/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
