This week, the Afrique Research Support Hub (ARSH) Program, in collaboration with #IamAPHRC and @CARTAfrica graduates, is hosting the Regional Research Grant Proposal Writing Workshop in the East Africa Region in Nairobi. This five-day event brings together emerging researchers from across the region, equipping them with essential skills to craft competitive research grant proposals aligned with funding agency expectations. Key highlights: 🔹 Hands-on exercises and peer reviews to refine research concepts, problem statements, objectives, and methods. 🔹 Expert-led discussions on research design, analysis, and implementation to strengthen proposals. 🔹 Insights on budgeting, ethical approvals, and funder engagement for sustainable funding. 🔹 Exploring Artificial Intelligence’s role in proposal writing to enhance research innovation. #GrantWriting #APHRCResearch #WeAreAfrica @MoiUniKenya @CKyobutungi @amveyange @VioletNaanyu @KaraniMagutah @Katodrago1 @ShehuAwandu @DrLiliannjagi @lomondi1 @KarimiFlorah @benmacondiek @Topistarkarani @jkiplagat1 @Sidze_APHRC

Happening this week: Capacity Development of Applied Epidemiologists (CDAE) Dissemination and Closeout Workshop. The project supported by @EDCTP is proud to have graduated 15 Epi fellows from Malawi, Tanzania, Somalia, Zambia, and Kenya from our partner institutions @Jooustonline and @AmrefUniversity with master’s degrees in applied epidemiology. The Epi fellows will showcase their accomplishments and develop a short course curriculum throughout the week. This partnership aims to nurture epidemiologists driving Africa’s health transformation. Fellows like @meyledy are advancing research to promote nutritious diets, sustainable food systems, & policies for better planetary health. #APHRCResearch #WeAreAfrica @lunduniversity @DrOpiyoOwili @KarimiFlorah @KKamenju @Topistarkarani @Deenzimba @RatemoJuliet @dmdiarafa @amveyange @CKyobutungi

Kenyan scientists have discovered that larvae of the darkling beetle can digest plastic, potentially offering a solution to plastic waste. Despite producing only 5% of the world's plastic, Africa is now the second most plastic-polluted continent.

A huge thank you to all grant holders who took part in our Equitable Partnerships training programme in Ghana last week, alongside @AREF_Africa. We look forward to the outcomes of @DrCeNz's climate & health research project, as well as many other brilliant ongoing studies.

@emipondeville I can't wait to get this exciting joint project on Kenyan vectors rolling @Jooustonline @UofGlasgow

Excited about this award that will allow us investigate the impact of climate change on invasive Anopheles stephensi and Aedes mosquitoes
