If you are interested in a research opportunity with WRJHCP:

Step 1: Contact Ana Weil to learn about projects in Cameroon.

Step 2: Send a letter of proposal and a CV to Jeremy Alberga. Your proposal may be

• to work in one of our established projects as a research assistant
• to conduct independent research that addresses WRJHCP aims

Step 3: Gain approval from the WRJHCP coordinators.

Step 4: Establish the period of  research, funding, and expected outcomes from your visit.

• getting appropriate immunizations for your project
• getting proper documentation—a visa will be necessary (go to the The Embassy of the Republic of Cameroon Web site for more information)
• arranging travel—plan to arrive and depart from Yaounde, not Douala
• arranging health insurance for your stay

Step 7: Keep in touch with the in-country supervisor assigned to you. Preparation for research and the realities of the field often necessitate changes, so you should keep informed of any developments. If at any time you have questions, or have trouble reaching your supervisor, you should contact Ana Weil in Baltimore (410-502-0414) or Jeremy Alberga (011-237-221-3382).

Step 8: Request pick-up at the airport.

• Email Florence Nange at fnange@hopkinscameroon.org and Adolphe Ngole at angole@hopkinscameroon.org with the date and time of arrival and, if you are carrying any equipment for your research, a list of these items.   
• Be sure you have received email confirmation.

Step 9: Begin your research in Cameroon!
