This week, the Afrique Research Support Hub (ARSH) Program, in collaboration with #IamAPHRC and @CARTAfrica graduates, is hosting the Regional Research Grant Proposal Writing Workshop in the East Africa Region in Nairobi.
This five-day event brings together emerging researchers from across the region, equipping them with essential skills to craft competitive research grant proposals aligned with funding agency expectations.
Key highlights:
🔹 Hands-on exercises and peer reviews to refine research concepts, problem statements, objectives, and methods.
🔹 Expert-led discussions on research design, analysis, and implementation to strengthen proposals.
🔹 Insights on budgeting, ethical approvals, and funder engagement for sustainable funding.
🔹 Exploring Artificial Intelligence’s role in proposal writing to enhance research innovation.

Happening this week: Capacity Development of Applied Epidemiologists (CDAE) Dissemination and Closeout Workshop.
The project supported by @EDCTP is proud to have graduated 15 Epi fellows from Malawi, Tanzania, Somalia, Zambia, and Kenya from our partner institutions @Jooustonline and @AmrefUniversity with master’s degrees in applied epidemiology. The Epi fellows will showcase their accomplishments and develop a short course curriculum throughout the week.
This partnership aims to nurture epidemiologists driving Africa’s health transformation. Fellows like @meyledy are advancing research to promote nutritious diets, sustainable food systems, & policies for better planetary health.

Kenyan scientists have discovered that larvae of the darkling beetle can digest plastic, potentially offering a solution to plastic waste. Despite producing only 5% of the world's plastic, Africa is now the second most plastic-polluted continent.
