Print

 

This is a special call to invite suitable applicants for a special additional DRILL fellowship. Kindly note that although funded, due to time and financial constraints, these fellowships are of a more limited nature than those already awarded to current Fellows in this programme.

 

Background to the UKZN Developing Research Innovation, Localisation and Leadership in South Africa (DRILL)

 

Preamble

 

US National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant (No: 1D43TW010131), Developing Research Innovation, Localisation and Leadership (DRILL) was awarded to the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in 2015 to support a research training and induction programme for early career academics and health professional staff members, under the scientific areas of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), Mental Health, Health Professions’ Education, Health Research Ethics and Health Systems Research.

 

The goal of DRILL is to produce 20+ high quality scientists skilled to lead socially valuable, locally relevant and culturally sensitive research programs designed around the health challenges facing South Africa and KwaZulu-Natal in particular. 

 

The training programme focuses on issues relevant to KZN. Attention is given to redressing regional inequities and disparities while leveraging existing resources.  Efforts are being made to shift the culture of research from the tertiary to Primary Health Care (PHC) level.  We seek to be locally relevant, globally competitive and scientifically robust to impact both the DRILL Fellows and training institutions. 

 

Selected further DRILL research training scholarships are available to health-related academics and professionals for research to be conducted in the fields of HIV/AIDS including HIV-associated co-infections, Mental Health, Health Professions’ Education, Health Research Ethics and Health Systems Strengthening in South Africa. Training will be offered - for a period of at least one year – towards obtaining a PhD or exposure to a post-doctoral research training programme.

 

This call is for the third cohort of 5 DRILL Fellows.

Interested applicants are invited to complete the Application Form:

The closing date for applications is 19th April 2019 (16h00), and shortlisted applicants will be notified by 10th May 2019.

 

Please note that incomplete and/or late applications will NOT be accepted.

 

Disclaimer:
Please note that this fellowship award is conditional upon funds being made available by the NIH. The fellowship shall terminate with immediate effect should the funder (NIH) discontinue the grant to DRILL for any reason, as there would be no other sources of funding available for fellows.

For further enquiries, please e-mail: DRILL Project Manager: Dr Nisha Nadesan-Reddy (Nadesanreddy@ukzn.ac.za)
