This 3rd edition of the Little Grants Program (SGP III) is to support African scientists in both early and mid/late profession to carry out functional research study lined up with the objectives developed in the London Statement on Disregarded Tropical Illness. SGP III is consisted of 2 little grant financing tracks:
- Little grants for junior scientists
- Little grants for mid-career and/or senior scientists.
Grants
- The little grants targeted at junior and senior scientists at the Masters or PhD level will supply grants varying from USD $5,000– $25,000
Eligibility

- Candidates need to be presently used by or registered as a trainee in a scholastic, health, or research study organization in Africa throughout of the grant
- Should show having a dedication to NTD-related research study along with the abilities and experience needed to perform the proposed work
- Should have the ability to supply proof of research study output, consisting of publications and/or discussions at clinical conferences
Particular to candidates for the junior scientists’ grants:
- Candidates need to be an early profession scientist, specified as a standard biomedical researcher, medically certified detective, or public health scientist, who has not formerly completed effectively as primary detective for a significant research study grant (i.e., ≥ USD 200,000)
- Should hold a minimum of a Master’s degree or must be actively registered in doctoral research studies. Candidates holding a postgraduate degree (e.g., PhD, DrPH, DSc) needs to have finished no greater than 7 years back. Clinicians (e.g. MBChB, MBBS, MD, DVM holders), who have actually not finished a Master’s degree need to have some professional training (e.g., Subscription, Fellowship) or have the ability to show pertinent research study training/experience
