History of Medical Research in Nigeria
This partnership aims to extend the European collaborations being developed through the successful ESRC-Open Research Area (ORA) “Memorials and remains of medical research in Africa” project (2011-2014), led at LSHTM by Wenzel Geissler (GHD), to include an Africa-based partner institution, IFRANigeria, in order to develop Nigerian research, teaching capacity and scholarly production in the history of medicine, with a specific focus on the history of medical research (both clinical and pharmaceutical) in Nigeria.
It combines a training programme in theory and methodology of history of medicine in Africa with a competitive, peer-reviewed selection process for the award of field research grants to assist in the development of a new field of research in Nigerian history. The partnership will enable a strong African scholarly contingent to take part in the events and dissemination plans arising from the ESRC-ORA grant, including the constitution of a Nigerian panel at the final conference in Spring 2014, and publication of output within Nigeria and in leading scholarly journals.
