Strategic Social, Economic and Behavioural Research

Closing date for receipt of applications: 17 February 2006


The UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and
Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) invites applications for the award
of Collaborative Research Grants (CRGs) on a variety of social research
topics defined by the TDR Steering Committee on Strategic Social,
Economic, and Behavioural Research (SEB):

Topic 1: Understanding and remedying access barriers to established
measures of prevention, therapy and information

Topic 2: Understanding fundamental social issues related to stigma and
adherence to treatment and prevention and improving adherence, with a
focus on mass drug administration and other prevention schemes

Topic 3: Elucidating the dynamics of human resources in infectious
disease control programs

Topic 4: Elucidating transaction costs in infectious disease control
programmes

Topic 5: Understanding and addressing child vulnerability and
resilience, with a focus on infectious diseases among children in
conflict situations

The full call is available at:
http://www.who.int/tdr/grants/grants/calls.htm

Full proposals must be submitted on TDR forms, with research clearances,
ethical review board approval, consent forms and research instruments,
in the original language and in English translation, following the
guidelines provided below and on our website at
http://www.who.int/tdr/topics/social-research/guidelines.htm. Please
indicate, in your cover letter to the full proposal, which topic is
being addressed.

The SEB Steering Committee holds one meeting per year during which it
updates its workplan, reviews new research proposals and reports, and
monitors overall progress of the Committee. The next meeting is
scheduled for May 2006.

The Committee invites individual research projects with budgets normally
not to exceed $35,000-40,000 per year for a period of preferably one to
a maximum of two years. The committee is particularly interested in
supporting projects that involve South-South and South-North
partnerships, between institutions and individuals that will contribute
to research capacity building for social science research in disease
endemic countries. For group projects and, in exceptional cases
individual projects, the Commitee will consider projects requiring
greater levels of funding.

Projects are funded on an annual basis and renewal of funding is based
on the success of progress and delivery of a full technical and
financial report.


How to apply

Detailed Proposal Development Guidelines for SEB research are available
on the TDR website at
http://www.who.int/tdr/topics/social-research/guidelines.htm and should
be closely followed while developing the proposal. Collaborative
Research Grant (CRG) application forms and instructions are available
from TDR at http://www.who.int/tdr/grants/grants/collgrant.htm.

Applicants are invited to be succinct and not exceed 10 pages for the
full proposal/protocol, excluding instruments If you are interested in
submitting a proposal to the SEB Steering Committee, an early
letter-of-intent can be submitted to the SEB secretariat to request
feedback before developing a full proposal. Applications will be
reviewed by the Steering Committee each May.

Applications can be submitted in English and French only. The steering
committee encourages research teams from other major language areas
(e.g., Spanish, Lusophone, or Arabic-speaking countries) to apply in
English or French. The Steering Committee strives to support the
broadest possible range of countries, institutions and diseases under
the TDR mandate.

In your application, please indicate the topic and topic number you are
applying for.

After approval of a funding recommendation by the Director of the TDR
Programme, the Manager of the Steering Committee will guide the proposed
Principal Investigator with respect to further steps needed to complete
the protocol development and application process.
