Call for Research Proposals - Rapid Research Fund for Ebola Virus Disease Outbreaks

The International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) have launched a Call for research proposals: “Rapid Research Fund for Ebola Virus Disease Outbreaks”.

The Call aims to support social science and humanities, population and public health and/or health systems research to increase collaboration and adaptive scaling of past evidence-based interventions that have proven successful in curbing Ebola Virus Disease transmission, promote novel approaches to remaining challenges, and link existing resources and expertise across the globe to inform the response to the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease that started in April 2018 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), as well as inform prevention and response to future outbreaks of Ebola Virus Disease and other similar diseases. Specific aims of the Call are to enhance the mobilization of interdisciplinary teams of Canadian and African health and social scientists and humanists, as well as knowledge users, to help contain the current Ebola Virus Disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and prevent or mitigate the impact of future Ebola Virus Disease and similar threats to the region.
