E-DRUG: Call for EOI (by 11 Aug 2019): Grant for visiting junior & senior
researchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call for expressions of interest (by 11 Aug 2019)

The International Centre for Reproductive Health (Department of Public
Health & Primary Care, Ghent University, Belgium) invites expressions of
interest for applications from junior and senior researchers from one of
the 31 VLIR-UOS countries (see list below) for funded Research Stays of up
to 3 months at Ghent University to support and expand their ongoing
research on development-related research issues. The International Centre
for Reproductive Health (ICRH) is a multidisciplinary research centre
operating within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Ghent
University.

About short research stays

The short research stay should take place in 2020, for minimum 1 month and
can last up to 90 days at most.

ICRH has a preference for longer (i.e. 3 month) research stays on the topic
of medicines related to sexual and reproductive health (including but not
limited to contraceptives, treatments for post-partum haemorrhage, other
medicines for safe motherhood, mifepristone-misoprostol for medical
abortion, treatments for breast or prostate cancer, antibiotics for the
treatment of sexually transmitted infections, etc.).

ICRH welcomes interdisciplinary research proposals / papers of relevance to
policy makers. Research may draw on a combination of disciplines such as
medicine, public health, pharmacy, law, political science, sociology,
journalism and communication, among others.

The research stay should result in a joint research or project proposal or
a joint scientific article or research paper.

Research or project proposal: Often, researchers have established contacts
with other researchers abroad, but do not find the time to jointly prepare
competitive research or project proposals. The Short Research Stay
scholarships are therefore available for researchers wishing to prepare a
research proposal, or broader to prepare a concept proposal for possible
(new), tangible partnerships or new projects within existing partnerships.
An exploration or initiation of a PhD proposal also fits in this category.

Scientific article or research paper: Researchers often do not have
sufficient time to write a scientific article or a research paper, although
all the necessary research data to do so are available. The Short Research
Stay call offers the possibility of spending maximally 90 days at Ghent
University, to permit writing one (or more) scientific articles or research
papers on the basis of available experimental data. The purpose is to
submit this paper or article to a scientific journal for publication, or to
an international conference for presentation. The journal or conference in
which one wants to present one's work, should be known beforehand.

criteria and timing of the Global Minds Short Research Stay grant can be
