Research capacity strengthening grant - budget round 2025
After its successful debut two years ago, this grant is back to support early-career researchers. It is designed to fund innovative, short-term projects, with a streamlined review process. Awarded projects will commence in the second half of 2025.
This is a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to conduct impactful research, expand their expertise and skills, and make meaningful contributions to the global fight against leprosy and its associated challenges.

RESILIENTD call for proposals – budget round 2026
In collaboration with our partner, Anesvad Foundation, the RESILIENTD grant is now open for its second round of applications. This funding focuses on addressing the social determinants of health in the context of skin NTDs, including leprosy, with a particular emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa.
This is a fantastic opportunity for impactful, integrated, innovative research projects aimed at improving skin NTD services and the well-being of individuals affected by skin NTDs. Applications from applicants based in Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as female researchers, are strongly encouraged as well as projects that focus on gender and meaningfully involve persons affected by NTDs.
