CALL FOR RESEARCH PROPOSALS: CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT IN LATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN
Deadline for proposals: June 19, 2009
Sponsored by the Inter-American Development Bank - IDB
The IDB invites submission of Research Proposals on Chronic Disease Management in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The overall objective of the research project is to provide documentation and evidence to encourage adoption of effective interventions to prevent and manage chronic conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean, answering the policy question of how (well) different health systems in the region deliver likely-effective interventions to prevent and manage chronic conditions. It is hoped that this evidence will contribute to a strategic shift in the thinking of health decision makers in the region (e.g. ministries of health, finance and economic development, academia, health practitioners) toward more effective public policies in the control of chronic disease.
The IDB will finance up to four (4) studies that will examine and - where possible - evaluate the effectiveness of innovative public policies aimed to control chronic disease in different health system contexts. Each approved research proposal will receive financial support up to US$25,000, depending on the scope of the work proposed.
Final papers will be considered for dissemination as IDB working papers and may be included in a book or a special journal issue on chronic disease management in LAC.
For more information, please access the Call for Proposal available at: http://www.iadb.org/research/
If you would like to participate, please submit a Research Proposal (maximum of three pages) in electronic format (.pdf preferred), together with the curricula vitae of the researchers involved and a budget (in a separate annex) to health@iadb.org by Friday, June 19.
Decisions will be made by July 8; completed papers must be received by December 30.
