Project disclaimer
Description
The UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) funds outstanding global health research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR provided funding to the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) which aims to support collaborative research that accelerates the clinical development of new or improved interventions to prevent or treat poverty related as well as emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases affecting sub-Saharan Africa. NIHR has supported research as part of the 2020 Workplan focussed on: ‘Mobilisation of funding for COVID-19 research in sub-Saharan Africa’; ‘Addressing gender and diversity gaps in clinical research capacity at the EDCTP Regional Networks of Excellence; and "Capacity development for disease outbreak and epidemic response in sub-Saharan Africa, in collaboration with Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC)". This activity is a component of European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) phase II programme (GB-GOV-10-EDCTP2).
