Deadline: 15 September 2016
The Research4Life/INASP Advocacy Competition is now open for entries. The competition highlights the critical role that doctors, researchers, librarians and policymakers play in advocating their leaders to support research in their institutions and countries.
Over the last two decades we have worked together with INASP to close the information gap between developed and developing countries by providing free or low cost access to academic, scientific, and professional peer-reviewed content online and providing the necessary training to support researchers, practitioners, librarians and authors in building viable research ecosystems.
The competition calls for case studies demonstrating how users have overcome hurdles to boost critical leadership support for the information and infrastructural resources needed to improve evidence based health care, agriculture and environmental policies as well as basic research in their countries.
Prizes
- Elsevier will provide the winner with a travel grant to the 2017 Publishers for Development conference in the U.K.
- SAGE Publishing has offered a one year subscription to a major reference work and Taylor & Francis will provide an honorable mention award.
Eligibility Criteria
The competition is open to all researchers, practitioners, librarians and library staff whose institution is either a registered user of one of the Research4Life programmes – Hinari, AGORA, OARE and ARDI – or who have access to online journals or books as a result of deals intermediated via INASP.
