Nigeria’s National Universities Commission is offering travel grants to scientists who want to conduct research or be trained in biomedical research at Bio Ventures for Global Health in the US.
Julius Okojie, the executive secretary of NUC, says the grants will be provided through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund to equip researchers with the skills to deal with outbreaks of diseases such as Ebola.
