ESPR Research Grant Programme 2024 - Submit your project proposal!

Dear ESPR member,

We are delighted to announce the open call for the ESPR Research Grant Programme 2024!

This year, there are two brand-new opportunities:

The 'Future of Paediatric Care' Research Grant seeking to help early career investigators, post-docs, nurses or allied healthcare professionals establish, perform, and complete a research project in all fields related to Paediatrics.
The 'Bridging the Gap' Research Grant with the objective to support early career investigators, post-docs, nurses or allied healthcare professionals establish, perform, and complete a research project focusing on a low-resource setting in all fields related to Paediatrics.

Both grants offer up to EUR 20,000 to realise your project, publish in Pediatric Research, and present your work at an upcoming ESPR meeting.

Find out more on our website espr.eu. Application deadline: Friday, 30 August 2024.

We look forward to receiving your project proposals!

Sincerely,

Willem de Boode
President of the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR)

News from Pediatric Research - Science for kids

The Editors in Chief of Pediatric Research have initiated a series of projects entitled “Science for Kids”. These projects identify a teacher and student(s) who interpret an original research paper published by the journal for fellow students. The student and teacher will work with our Science for Kids editor, Dr. Ivan Frantz, to create a project of their own design! Several of these projects have been published already- please visit our collections here.

We are asking for society members to help us identify potential participants in this project. Think of your kids, your kids’ kids, high school kids that work in your labs during the summer, all of these are potential students that could participate in this project and receive an incentive for their classroom! Please contact the Editorial Office at info@pedres.org if you would like further information. Get their CV started early!

Join the ESPR Low- and Middle-Income Countries Special Interest Group!

The mission of the ESPR Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) Special Interest Group is to promote research development in LMICs, support local emerging leaders, assess the feasibility of guidelines in resource-limited settings, and foster investigation initatives.

The LMIC SIG is chaired by Prof Walusa Assad Gonçalves-Ferri. To participate in this wonderful initative, please contact the ESPR Secretariat via office@espr.eu. We will be more than happy to forward your request to Walusa!

Call for participation: Identifying a multi-aetiologies test with the best value for money for patients with fever and uncertain diagnosis

You are invited to take part in a survey to inform the development and assessment of new host biomarker-based tests for patient management in hospitals. This survey is led by an EU-funded consortium, DIAMONDS (www.diamonds2020.eu) and will help prioritize which patient types and features test development should focus on.

The survey should take approximately 10 minutes. The deadline for completion is 31st July.

To complete this survey, please follow this link: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/lshtm/identifying-a-multi-aetiologies-test-with-the-best-value-for--3

Please note that you may have received an invitation to this survey through another channel, in which case please do not fill it twice.

Thank you for your cooperation!
