2013 African Doctoral Dissertation Research Fellowships: CALL FOR APPLICATIONS/ APPEL DE CANDIDATURES

Deadline: January 15, 2013

The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), in partnership with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), is pleased to 
announce the sixth call for applications for the African Doctoral Dissertation Research Fellowships(ADDRF). The ADDRF Fellowship Program seeks to 
facilitate more rigorous engagement of doctoral students in research, strengthen their research skills, and provide them an opportunity for timely 
completion of their doctoral training. The Program targets doctoral students with strong commitment to a career in training and/or research. The 
overall goal of the ADDRF Program is to support the training and retention of highly-skilled, locally-trained scholars in research and academic 
positions across the region. 

The ADDRF will award about 20 fellowships in 2012 to doctoral students who are within two years of completing their thesis at an African university. 
In this phase of funding and in consideration of IDRC's health programming priorities, candidates whose dissertation topics address health policy or 
health systems issues will be given special consideration. The Program has also reserved three fellowships for doctoral students conducting research 
on health inequities in urban areas or the reproductive health of marginalized urban communities. These three fellowships are funded by the 
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. 


The application form and supporting documents must be submitted online at
