We are pleased to announce the request for proposals for the ARL 2020 Biomedical/Clinical Grant Initiative. The goal of this grant mechanism is to promote biomedical/clinical research at the College of Medicine, UNN, through the engagement of students, residents, and faculty in interprofessional research projects. The priorities for this RFP will be in the areas of small to medium-sized, hypothesis-driven, research projects that address prevalent health issues in Africa, and innovative approaches to overcome these problems.

The ARL 2020 Biomedical/Clinical Grant Initiative program, proposal review, and selection process will be overseen by the members of the League, with a pool of funds that will support up to five awards. Each proposal budget should not exceed $1000.00 or its naira equivalent. Currently, N300,000.00 will go directly to each project funding, and N50,000.00 will be paid to the awardee upon publication of research findings in a peer-reviewed journal.
