I am having the best time working with rising star researchers through the African Research Funding Accelerator! Prof Tory Madden is such an inspiring researcher to work with. I love the new branding for her research group - the African Pain Research Initiative. Tory's Accelerator was sponsored by the UCT Neuroscience Institute and the Future Professors Programme.
🔦 Spotlight: Prof Tory Madden and the African Pain Research Initiative We are excited to showcase a recent branding initiative undertaken in collaboration with Alacia Armstrong (she/her), our graphic design team, and the Future Professors Program (https://lnkd.in/d2sZkXdi). This branding process was an extended service aimed at helping researchers enhance what they developed through the Accelerator program (https://lnkd.in/djyiH3Rk), by building a strong brand identity that speaks to funders and beneficiaries. The African Research Funding Accelerator is designed to support African researchers at any career stage by mapping a clear pathway toward greater resourcing, impact, and visibility (https://lnkd.in/djyiH3Rk). Through this program, researchers are supported to: -Develop a clear vision and mission with a positive fundraising mindset. -Lay the strategic foundation for large funding applications. -Craft a nuanced fundraising plan to identify aligned funders and donors. -Creating compelling narratives to capture the attention of funders. Earlier this year, Tory Madden launched the African Pain Research Initiative (https://lnkd.in/dfbdMmsr) at the UCT Neuroscience Institute, University of Cape Town. Its mission is to study how pain emerges and persists, identifying the most influential social, psychological, and neuroimmune mechanisms for treatment. Under Tory’s leadership, this initiative aims to: -Enhance understanding of pain mechanisms. -Develop practical pain prevention and treatment strategies in Africa. -Build a skilled network of pain-informed African researchers. -Raise public awareness and community support for pain management.
