Call for Proposals: Research into the effect of palliative care for people living with HIV/AIDS
The Palliative Care Initiative of The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund is inviting proposals from suitably experienced research institutions to investigate and provide rigorous evidence on the effect of palliative care on the quality of life and outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.
We are interested in investigating the following two outcomes under this research programme. Please note that BOTH specific objectives must be addressed under one research project.
The two specific objectives of the research are to investigate to what extent palliative care services:
- improve adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) of people living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa;
AND
- provide effective pain and symptom control for people living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.
A grant amount maximum of £250,000 over 2 years will be awarded to one successful bid.
The deadline for receipt of proposals by the Fund is 13 May 2010. Applications must be submitted by the closing date; late applications will not be accepted.
