1) INDEPTH Prize for Extraordinary Research in Population and Health
The INDEPTH Prize for Extraordinary Research in Population and Health at INDEPTH Sites was established to stimulate researchers at INDEPTH member centres to undertake innovative work leading to extraordinary results that have the potential to impact policy and practice. An announcement for new nominations for the prize is out and posted online on this website. 

2) New call for proposals for cross-site small grants
Our small grants programme aims to foster research collaboration and research training at INDEPTH member centres. The grant provides $25,000 per grant to at least three INDEPTH members participating in a cross-site activity. INDEPTH has received further support from Sida/GLOBFORSK to expand the programme. We are therefore pleased to announce another round of grants. For further details regarding these grants click here.

3) Bridging Communication Barriers and Fostering Cross-Site Exchange at INDEPTH Sites
Overcoming the language barrier and sharpening the scientific skills of young researchers from non-English-speaking countries will contribute to strengthening research capacity, and to increasing contributions to future INDEPTH activities. INDEPTH has launched this new initiative to strengthen the communication skills in English of young scientists from non-English-speaking countries. It is a 1-2 month cross-site attachment programme that will initially support 2 young scientists annually.
