A Few of Our Endeavours

Specialized Training Programs

Grant Africa

Grant Africa is a groundbreaking initiative in collaboration with the University of Oxford.

This innovative project will select and train 25 young African medical researchers, cardiologists, nephrologists, and public health specialists over the course of one year, providing them with the guidance and skills needed to secure essential funding for their research.

This annual training program is a significant step forward in empowering the next generation of African medical professionals.

T he need for this training stems from the urgent necessity to improve surveillance systems to support the response to current and future health risks, including climate change. Furthermore, it is crucial to promote evidence-based health in all sectoral policies and strengthen health systems to ensure quality healthcare for all.

By training these young researchers, we will be better prepared to combat non-communicable diseases,  accelerate the reduction of maternal, neonatal, and child mortality, and eliminate high impact communicable diseases.

Training Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Develop robust surveillance systems to support the response to health risks.
  • Integrate evidence-based health into sectoral health policies.
  • Design research strategies aimed at strengthening the resilience of health systems.
  • Develop interventions to improve the quality of healthcare.
  • Understand and meet the requirements of international funding bodies for grant applications.

Symposiums and Workshops

At AMedRA, we believe in the power of collaboration and the exchange of ideas to advance medical research in Africa.
Our symposiums and workshops are dynamic platforms designed to bring together the brightest minds from across the continent and beyond.

These events foster meaningful dialogue, innovative thinking, and actionable solutions to address Africa’s unique healthcare challenges. By gathering leading researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and emerging talent, we create opportunities to share groundbreaking research, build partnerships, and inspire the next generation of African scientists.

Whether it’s exploring cutting-edge technologies, discussing strategies for combating non-communicable diseases, or providing hands-on training, our symposiums and workshops are at the heart of AMedRA’s mission to transform healthcare outcomes through African-led research.

AMedRA aims to drive progress, forge connections, and build a healthier future for Africa.

Mentorship Programs

At AMedRA, as part of our commitment to nurturing the next generation of African researchers, we have established Mentorship Programs that connect young and budding African scientists with experienced and renowned researchers across the globe. This initiative fosters a collaborative environment where emerging talents gain invaluable insights,skills, and guidance from established leaders in various medical and scientific disciplines.

By pairing promising researchers with mentors, we aim to accelerate their professional growth and strengthen Africa’s role in global medical research. Mentees can get personalized support, sharing their knowledge and expertise to help them navigate complex research landscapes, refine methodologies, and expand their networks.

AMedRA’s mentorship program builds bridges between continents and across generations, ensuring that African researchers are equipped to make groundbreaking contributions to healthcare.
