African Society of Paediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology Congress - IPWSO Grant Application

In order to share knowledge about Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) around the world, IPWSO is delighted to offer a limited number of travel fellowships, up to US$1000 each, to medical professionals who wish to attend the 18th ASPAE Congress to be held in 2027 in Nairobi, Kenya.

The expectation of the fellowship is that successful applicants will use the knowledge gained to help people with PWS in their country/region.

Successful applicants must be willing to be publicly identified by IPWSO and any potential funder as having received the fellowship (e.g., on websites and in various publications).

Applicants must also be willing to prepare a brief report which IPWSO and any partner funder may make public, within 3 months of the end of the conference.

Priority will be given to applicants who:

• Intend to submit an abstract that relates to Prader-Willi syndrome (either directly or indirectly) for the ASPAE Congress;

• have previously worked with patients with PWS;

• express a real interest in developing their own knowledge of PWS and raising awareness of the syndrome amongst other professionals e.g. by holding a continuous professional development activity focussed on PWS;

• work in Africa;

• have not previously received funding from IPWS

Applications will be assessed in terms of:

• quality of the abstract;

• applicants’ experience of supporting people with PWS;

• applicants’ plans to continue to support people with PWS after the workshop/conference concludes;

• the importance of providing support in this country/region.

The closing date for applications is:22 January 2027.
