For #WorldChagasDiseaseDay, we spoke to @majocarrascot, an RSTMH/NIHR Early Career Grant awardee, about why she chose to focus on the disease for her research. rstmh.org/news-blog/blog #WorldChagasDay #beatNTDs #whereischagas
"In my experience people living in areas where risk for Chagas disease infection is high don’t seek medical treatment unless what they experience prevents them from performing their daily activities because it means losing a whole working day. Even if they contact a physician they might not be diagnosed because blood testing for Chagas disease is likely not available at the rural health centre. This is especially important for Chagas disease because treatment is only possible with early diagnosis.” Assessing the vulnerability to Chagas disease infection in temporary shelters in rural communities in southern Ecuador: a mixed-methods approach

Q: Is an Early Career Grant the same as a Small Grant? A: Yes, the name of our grant programme changed this year. However, nothing else about the programme has changed. We hope the new name better reflects those awarded & the impact on the individual & their careers. #AskRSTMH
