TDR expresses sincere gratitude to
Members of the Steering Committee for their critical assessment and
contributions to the selection process.
TDR would like to thank, those
investigators who were not funded. A large number of projects were
reviewed but only a few were selected due to the high competitive
selection process. TDR wishes to encourage these investigators to
continue their good work and to re-compete next year (see
deadline for submission of
new applications). Detailed
information on funding and how to apply for support from the Committee
on Social, Economic & Behavioural Research (SEB) can be obtained
from the following web site http://www.who.int/tdr/grants TDR
