Joint Global Health Trials scheme - launch of second call for proposals

DFID has just launched the second call of its Joint Global Health Trials initiative, in collaboration with the UK Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust.

The purpose of the scheme is to provide funding for the best proposals to generate new knowledge about interventions that will contribute to the improvement of health in low and middle income countries. The scheme is aimed at funding randomised controlled trials (RCTs), although it encourages other types of methodologies to be used alongside the RCT to explore implementation and operational issues. The scope of the scheme encompasses interventions of all kinds, including, but not limited to, behavioural interventions, complex interventions, disease management, drugs, vaccines, hygiene and diagnostic strategies.

You can find out more about the scheme and how to apply here.

Closing date for expressions of interest is 12 September 2011.
