PRD COLLEGE Poverty related Diseases College(International Programme on BioMedicine and Development)
Coordinator: UNIVERSITE DE YAOUNDE I (CM)
To bridge the gap between the biological sciences, health and development in Africa, a consortium is created and named the PRD College, which proposes to reorganise and educate young African and European scientists to perform research, on poverty related and neglected diseases (PR&ND) that is relevant to development. These diseases are common ground for both the African nations who wish to develop and the European Union who wishes to contribute to and collaborate with Africa for development.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
Co-funding: the European Union contributes €1.4M toward a total project budget of €1.7M — a funding rate of 84%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 3.7 years from 2009-07-01 to 2013-03-31.
