Closing Date: 30 April 2008
EN
The Global Forum for Health Research and The Lancet are holding
their third joint essay competition for the under-30s on the theme:
Climate change and health: research challenges for the health of
vulnerable populations.
Rules and guidelines
Authors must have been born on or after 1 January 1978.
Each author may submit one essay only.
Essays may be submitted in English or French and should be 1500
words maximum.
Essays must be based on the author's own ideas and not be derived
from another source.
Essays must not have been previously published.
Entries are individual (i.e., the work of a single author).
They should include original, even provocative ideas and not be
technical or academic texts: tables, charts and figures are probably
not necessary; references should be limited.
Authors are free to be idealistic, passionate, to take established
practices to task, albeit in a constructive fashion.
Within the context of research for health, the theme allows authors
to include any aspect that interests them particularly ?for example,
extreme weather, natural disasters, fuels and energy, transport,
water management, vectors, food production, demographics, urban
planning, security.
Deadline
The deadline for receipt of entries is 30 April 2008.
A shortlist will be announced by the end of June. Shortlisted
authors will be asked to provide a high quality photograph and to
confirm original authorship and date of birth.
The winners will be notified by the beginning of August 2008. The
judges' decision will be final.
Prizes
A selection of shortlisted essays will be published in an anthology
as well as on the Global Forum and Lancet websites.
Winners will be invited to take part (with all expenses paid) in the
Global Ministerial Forum on Research for Health, which will take
place in Bamako, Mali, from 17 to 19 November 2008.
Staff members of the Global Forum or of the Lancet or their
immediate families are ineligible to enter the competition, as are
authors of shortlisted essays published in 2006 and 2007.
Candidates should submit their essay here.
