Full Proposal	Tanzania & South Korea Joint Call for Research Proposals - submissions of collaborative research projects between Tanzania and South Korean researchers. In particular support will be availed to projects from any of the selected themes that are innovative, scalable, and replicable. The projects should aim to enhance knowledge and technology generation and dissemination, demonstrate effective linkages with industry, government and end users and show socio-economic impact. THEMATIC AREAS A. Herbal medicines Herbal medicines are increasingly being considered as viable alternatives to modern synthetic medicine not only due to costs but also for cultural acceptability. There are number of potential herbal products of medicinal value available in the Tanzanian market that is supplemented by traditional knowledge on the selection, preparation and application of herbal formulations. However, levels of active molecules that are requisite for appropriate dosing levels and validation of the extraction and packaging for purposes of safety and effectiveness are limited. Research questions should aim to answer concerns such as structures of the active component for development of new drugs, formulations and clinical validation for safety, quality and efficacy; scaling of production/commercialization; identification validation; and management. B. From Biodiversity to value-added products Tanzania is one of the 12 mega biodiversity hotspots hosting rich diversity at genes, species and ecosystem levels. Knowledge-based, value-added product development and its commercialization is a fast growing economic activity and the liberalization of the global trade policies and other economic reforms evolving would benefit local study and understanding, especially in the light of achievements in science and technology. The unknown potentials of genetic diversity found in the biological organisms, represent a never-ending biological frontier of inestimable value. Genetic diversity enables breeders to tailor crops/livestock to meet the increased productivity, adapt Tanzania ?South Korea joint call for research proposals Page 2 changing climatic conditions, disease resistance and to meet the other essential needs and future aspirations of humankind. Biogenetic resources are the primary source of valuable genes, chemicals, drugs, pharmaceuticals, natural dyes, gums, resins, enzymes or proteins of great health, nutritional and economic importance. Biodiversity- rich countries host valuable untapped knowledge systems on the use of biological and genetic resources in the form of Traditional Knowledge (TK). Making the best use of the TK and generating new knowledge, products and technologies is one approach to generating economic wealth with cognizance to intellectual property rights (IPR) for access and benefit sharing. Endemic C. Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and diagnostics Tanzania is prevalent with neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) despite the national efforts on understanding, controlling and eliminating NTDs and their associated risks. Advances in technology create opportunity for development of new diagnostic tests, test existing biomarkers for enhancing early diagnosis and treatment and elimination of NTDs. Proposal under this theme shall address (i) Development of diagnostics that are cost effective and relatively easy to use in different settings (ii) Validation/up scaling of proven technologies, interventions and services that need to be commercialized or transferred to end users to make them accessible in the resourcelimited places where NTDs are found.	16/05/2016 - 15/06/2016	cerrado	Propuestas aprobadas
