The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trial Partnership (EDCTP)-Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) Clinical Research and Development Fellowship is a 21-month fellowship program. It is aimed at strengthening the overall capacity of fellows to conduct Clinical Research Implementation including clinical trial studies. The program is structured into three main components: preparatory, training and re-integration phases. The training phase requires that fellows spend 12 months at a European host Institution and thereafter return to their home Institutions for a re-integration phase to build further capacity. For this fellowship, Dr. James Onyemata spent 12 months at the European Vaccine Initiative (EVI). EVI is a not-for profit organisation based in Heidelberg, Germany, and plays a leading role towards the establishment of effective, accessible and affordable vaccines against neglected and tropical diseases.
