[afro-nets] EDCTP: call for proposals

The European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Proposals

Dear Sir, Madam,

The vicious circle of disease and poverty causes a fundamental
public health and economic crisis in developing countries, par-
ticularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. HIV/AIDS, malaria and tubercu-
losis (TB) alone account for more than five million deaths every
year, 95% of these in the developing world. The European & De-
veloping Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) is a re-
sponse for more and better research and development activities
to fight the three diseases. To this respect EDCTP has issued
our first Call for Proposals.

Regarding this call, we are focusing on accelerating controlled
clinical trials for drugs against the targeted diseases. The
deadline for receipt of completed applications is 9th of April
2004. For more information on this call and form of application,
I kindly refer you to our web site:

Would you be kind to distribute this e-mail within your own or-
ganisation and amongst interesting parties as appropriate?

With kind regards,

Dr. P. Olliaro
Executive Director EDCTP
