Subject: GDN Awards for Research Papers
Importance: High
This is a call for papers to be submitted to the Global Development Network
for cash awards. One topic is health-related: INVESTMENT IN HEALTH AND
MUTUAL IMPACT. It refers to impacts of developed and developing countries in
each other in relation to health issues. The cash awards and recognition for
winning one of these awards are quite generous and the winners are invited
to the GDN annual meeting in January 2005 in Senegal to present their
papers. The deadline is August 24, 2004.
