This scheme enables
high-calibre, mid-career researchers from low- and middle-income
countries to establish an
independent research programme.
Research projects
should be aimed at understanding and controlling diseases (either human or animal) of relevance
to local, national or global health. This can include laboratory based
molecular analysis of field or clinical samples, but projects focused solely on
studies in vitro or using animal models will not normally be considered under
this scheme.
Fellowships are
for up to five years (non-renewable)
and provide support that includes:
- a basic salary for the fellow
- research expenses
- training costs where appropriate and justified
- an inflation and flexible funding allowance
- support to attend scientific meetings
Research-dedicated costs (excluding salary costs) should not exceed £60,000 per annum.
Next preliminary application deadline: 5 March 2012
