Achieving Universal Access to Prevention, Treatment, Care and Support

You are a young researcher (35 or under on 1st January 2010) resident in the SADC and EAC region. You have exciting and original research on Universal Access to prevention, treatment, care and support and you wish to submit an article to a reputable peer reviewed international journal.

HEARD at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa is offering to support up to 12 young researchers by linking you to an international academic mentor who will support your writing of an article for submission for publication. For more information on Universal Access click here.

Deadline: 26 February 2010

Background HEARD supports Young Researchers across the Southern African Development Community and the East African Community to expand the pool of researchers able to write and publish their research in peer reviewed journals and increase the accessibility of research across the continent.

It works to achieve this through:

• The provision of training and learning opportunities
• A structured academic writing mentorship programme linking young researchers to international senior HIV researchers
