With comments as “the project is likely to have a significant impact”, and “this project will make a substantial contribution to the expected impact”, the reviewers of the European Union agency EDCTP approved for funding another new project: “LiberHetica: increasing the ethics capacity of oversight for clinical trials in Liberia by establishing European-African collaborations that facilitates implementation of efficient processes …”. A great team lead by Liberian institutional rapresentatives made this come true, therefore I would like to thank Dr. Bolay Fotorma, Jemee Tegli, Dr. Stephen B. Kennedy, Gloria Mason, and Cecilia Morris.
