Deadline for applications: 15 September 2016
Send your story of successful advocacy which has improved the research4Life environment at your institution, or the health, educational, environmental, social or economic wellbeing of your neighbourhood or your country. Enter the competition and win a 2017 travel grant to the UK.
 
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.

• Have you been successful in efforts to make increased resources available, either in the form of funding for the conducting of research, funding for acquiring access to critical journals, books, or databases, or for improving the quality and quantity of the technological infrastructure and equipment provision in your institution?


• Have you ever been able to advocate for a more evidence-based local or national government policy based on external research to which you have had access or indeed research which you yourself have carried out?
