Dear Collegues, today I am of the opinion that, for science to show impact in human development, there must be some serious scientists devoted their career in scientific research. Even the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) recorgonize the importance of scientific research. Yet scientific rsearch are very expensive in terms of materials acquisition and time expenditure. This brings in the issue of costs associated with scientific research and thus calling for financial assisstance to be able to carry out scientific research. Where can such financial assisstance be obtained is obvious from donors or international organizations. To be able to secure funds from such organization you must have the necessary skills for writing fundable research proposals. I am therefore throwing this idea to my collegues so that we can think of how we can organize such an important training to build capacity among ourselves and thereby securing necessary resources for research.
The idea is very good and I
By JOSHUAThe idea is very good and I think we should start looking at it. If we know how to writeb proposals that can be funded then the research work becomes easier then we will be able to publish most of these works.
Writing proposals that will
By JOSHUAWriting proposals that will attract funding is very important in keeping in line with the goal of publishing our works. So it is necessary to hold such a congress that will educate people on how to write proposals that can be funded
The meeting in Pretoria was

By Tony Odiwe.It will be wonderful and we will do ourselves a lot of good.More importantly, it will go along way to advance the field of science especially in Africa if we can put up a proposal that can attract funding because that is the bane of research activities in Africa.
Lovely and lets make it a reality .

By Tony Odiwe.It will be lovely and we will be doing ourselves a lot of good. More importantly, it will go a long way to advance the cause of Science in this part of the world where facilities and resources are major obstacles to the advancement of science and technology. lets make it a reality.

By schamaschama
Indeed the importance of skill in proposal writting can not be underestimated. It is for this reason that the WAYS-AFRICA executive board is seriously floating the idea of holding a training workshop on this aboard a cruise ship, apropriately called the 'Scholar' Ship some time in February 2008. This will take place either in Cassablanca or Cape town.Other issues to be discussed may include ICT skills, skills for writing journal articles etc. Details will be given later.

By Kingsleybadudiagnostica
this workshop is absolutely needed every research activity needs funding, i believe there are funding organisations all over the place to access what we need is the skill to write up our research goal attractive enough to win sponsorship
so i support this idea it is even long overdue
