Web Form: RFP - Research to Address the Challenges and Inequities Presented by FGS
The Neglected Tropical Diseases Support Center (NTD-SC) at The Task Force for Global Health is currently soliciting proposals for operational research to address female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), a chronic manifestation of schistosome infections in women
and girls. FGS causes considerable inequity by: misdiagnosis and confusion with symptoms of sexually transmitted infections (STIs); social exclusion due to the impact on fertility, marital discord and depression, and; stigma that is associated with sexual and reproductive morbidity for women and girls. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 56 million women and girls are living with FGS in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent published research has recommended urgent global action to address FGS, in order to improve health and social outcomes for millions of women and girls in Africa.
Please fill out this form to submit all required Expression of Interest (EOI) information.
