Background
The Centre for Innovative Drug Development and Therapeutic Trials for Africa (CDT-Africa) is a World Bank-supported center of excellence for education and research at Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences, Ethiopia. It was established to lead high-quality regional capacity strengthening for the discovery and development of medicines (drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, and complex interventions) and bring about fair and sustainable development in Africa.
CDT-Africa, in partnership with its international collaborators, is in the process of implementing the HOPE project (NIHR Global Health Research Group on Homelessness and Severe Mental Illness in Africa). HOPE is a multi-country study that will be working in Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya. The focus is on co-producing, implementing and evaluating interventions that improve the lives of people who are homeless and have severe mental illness. In Ethiopia, HOPE will be working in Addis Ababa. As part of this initiative, CDT-Africa will be able to offer one full-time postdoctoral fellowship.
