WHO Patient Safety Small Research Grants

Patient safety research banner

Applications have now closed for the 2009 Small Grants Research Programme

This project has been set up to stimulate research on patient safety priority areas by providing seed funding for small research projects. In addition, it is envisaged that the initiative will contribute to building local research capacity and will help raise awareness about patient safety. The programme focuses on applied research.

2009 applications

Applications for the second round of funding are now closed. This year we received over 200 applications from 76 countries. The review process is now in progress and the final result is expected in February 2010.

Notification to unsuccessful applicants started in December, however, no feedback will be provided on an individual basis.
