Union (18 Fellowships)

Background: CPN-YAS-PRD (shortened name CPN-Africa) is an EU-funded
project whose aim is to attract Young African Scientists (YAS) to
participate in EU-funded research projects in Poverty Related Diseases (PRD)
through the establishment of a functional and dynamic Contact Points
Network (CPN) that will provide information and assistance to YAS. Key
components of the CPN (in Africa) will be Regional Contact Points (RCPs)
and Local Contact Points (LCPs). PRD are the major killer diseases of
HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis but also include the neglected diseases
(trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, etc).
Purpose of Training: CPN-Africa is now calling for applications for a

the European Union" targeted at potential LCP partners in the network.
The training will be offered to individuals, preferably engaged in PRD
research in estab¬lished institutions and demonstrating a strong interest
in becoming LCPs. Functions of the LCPs will be identifying, informing
and consulting YAS in their countries and/or the region on EU-funding
opportuni¬ties for research projects in PRD as well as the collection of
data on YAS and research institutions. After the training session, some
participants will be invited to join the EU-funded network of LCPs.
Dates and Venue: The training will take place from 19th March to 1st
April 2007 in Ndola, Zambia and will be hosted by the Tropical Diseases
Research Centre. An official opening conference is planned with the
Zambian Minister for Health and representatives from the European
Commission.
Trainers of the training will be representatives of European National
Contact Points (NCPs) from Austria, Estonia, Germany and The Netherlands
in co-operation with the following African Regional Contact Points
(RCPs): African Centre for Clinical Trials (ACCT) of Kenya, Fobang
