Small Project Bid

An opportunity has arisen from the Leicester-Gondar Medical link to fund clinically based projects that focus on leading and developing nursing care for children in Gondar, Ethiopia.  This has resulted from discussions between Link members in both Gondar and Leicester.  The work will be carried out jointly with health professionals in Gondar.

The project will: 

• identify an area in clinical practice that is in need of development
• use research, evidence from clinical practice and the patient experience to explore how practice needs to be changed
• use systematic methods for development and evaluation which enables all stakeholders to understand what needs to be changed and how this can be achieved
• provide a project plan for subsequent funding bids and implementation.

Duration:  six months

The grant will cover one return 2-week visit to Gondar (and all associated expenses).  It will cover all reasonable expenses associated with the preparation of a mutually acceptable project plan.

Funding amount: £1500

How to apply:   There is no application form.  If you are interested you should contact Nichole Bruce, Link Administrator (nb50@le.ac.uk) to arrange an appointment with one of the Link members to discuss your application.  The process will be explained to you.

Closing Date for expression of interest:  30th April. It is anticipated that successful projects will commence
in May or June.
