Weepi

Closed - application deadline: 30 September 2022

Aim and scope

In line with the overall aim of the WEEPI Foundation, this second round of stage 1 call for proposals (call 2.1) seeks to support clinical or implementation research projects aimed at improving the quality of care for people with HIV, viral hepatitis and tuberculosis in the central and eastern European part of the WHO European Region.

To be eligible, the stage 1 project must aim at improving the quality of care for people living with HIV, viral hepatitis or tuberculosis, focusing on at least two of the following aspects:

Eligibility requirements

Countries

Organizations/institutions from countries in the central and eastern part of the WHO European Region are eligible to apply. 

Eligible Institutions and Individuals

Public health care institutions, universities, university-associated institutes, private and public hospitals, and non-governmental not for profit organizations. 

Applicants must have a permanent employment in the applying eligible institution. Applications must be endorsed by the governing body of the institution. In case the individual(s) who applied for the grant leaves the institution, the grant as well as the responsibility for completing the project remains with the governing body of the institution.

Stage 1 applications

Stage 1 projects must form a relevant contribution to achieving at least two of the aims of the call, especially improving HIV, hepatitis or TB testing and care and reducing barriers to testing. Stage 1 projects will be the basis for applying for a later stage 2 project but must be planned as stand-alone projects. 

Stage 2 applications

After completion of a stage 1 project phase, institutions/organizations that successfully carried out a stage 1 project will be eligible to apply for a stage 2 project of considerably larger size and impact requirements. The stage 2 projects should build on outcomes, insights and lessons learnt from the stage 1 pilot project. Running time will be up to three years. 

Budget and duration 

Maximum funding per stage 1 project is CHF 30.000; project duration should not exceed 12 months.
