The 'UNZA-UCLMS Mentorship Programme' can provide research support and advice on all stages your project, from proposal writing and ethical approval, through to implementation, data analysis and dissemination. We'll pair you and your UNZA faculty supervisor with an international mentor with appropriate expertise to help you design and implement a study that is worthy of publication in internationally recognised journals. It's all about the IDEA!!! If you have a good one, contact us on info@unza-uclms.org or matthew.bates@ucl.ac.uk.

"There are very few opportunities for career progression in Zambia so I was overjoyed when I got a job with UNZA-UCLMS in 2011. I am so grateful to Dr Bates and Prof Zumla who have completely transformed my career prospects. I have almost completed my PhD in Wuhan, and am looking forward to returning home" John Tembo, Feb 2017
