Build AfReCa! (Build African Research Capacity), an international network of young scientists supporting the advancement of biomedical research in Africa and its diaspora is conducting a survey to help identify the needs of biomedical research training (BSc, MSc, or PhD) in Africa from the perspective of young scientists and graduate students throughout Africa and around the world.

The survey results will be published for academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, policy makers, and other stakeholders to assess and strengthen capacity building for health service and biomedical research in Africa.

We hope you will find 20 to 30 minutes to participate in this important endeavour no later than October 30th, 2009. All your identifying information will be kept confidential.

We are eager to get as many people as possible to complete the questionnaire, so please send out the link to everyone within your network of friends,  your colleagues in the office or laboratory, your classmate or old schoolmate, anyone that would satisfy the description “young scientists and graduate students throughout Africa and its diaspora.”

The survey is here.

If you have any questions or need assistance in French please contact Denis Zofou at zofden@yahoo.com, and if in English, contact Seye Abimbola at seyeabimbola@hotmail.com or simply leave a message as comment on this blog post.
