European and developing countries clinical trials partnership
The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) involves 14 EU countries, Switzerland, Norway, and a number of African countries. Its aim is to help fight HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in developing countries, with the overall goal of reducing poverty by improving the health of populations.
The EDCTP programme objective is to accelerate the development of new or improved drugs and vaccines against these diseases, with a focus on phase II and III clinical trials and on Sub-Saharan Africa.
EDCTP funding is awarded on a competitive basis through:
- Clinical Trial grants
- Networking grants
- Capacity Building grants
- Training Awards
All calls for proposals are handled by the EDCTP secretariat
For information on current calls for proposals, visit the EDCTP website.
