The Small Grants Program is administered in partnership with the Coalition for Operational Research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (COR-NTD). SGP VII awardees are funded by UK International Development from the UK government.
Over the years, the Small Grants Program (SGP) has received support from USAID, FCDO, and the Gates Foundation, who together have provided more than $2 million in funding to approximately 80 researchers across more than 16 African countries.
Through this investment, the SGP contributes to advance the targets outlined in the World Health Organization’s roadmap, “Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: A road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021–2030.
” John Amuasi, Executive Director of ARNTD, indicated, “ARNTD, with its partners, is delighted to offer these seven scientists the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and develop their research and innovation skills towards the vision of ending the neglect of diseases that continue to disproportionately affect the world’s poorest.
Research equity is a deliberate effort that needs to be sustained, especially in today’s challenging research funding landscape. ARNTD’s SGP continues to create avenues for the advancement of NTD research. ” Trudi O’Neill, Board Chair of ARNTD, noted, “The African Researchers’ Small Grants Program reflects ARNTD’s long-standing commitment to strengthening African-led research and innovation in neglected tropical diseases.
By supporting early and mid-career scientists across the continent, we are investing in the leadership and ideas that will drive sustainable progress toward eliminating NTDs. The diversity and quality of proposals received this year demonstrate both the urgency of these challenges and the commitment from African researchers and their institutions.
