Scholarship Description: This scheme enables high-calibre, mid-career researchers from low- and
middle-income countries to establish an independent research programme. Fellows
must be based primarily in a low- and middle-income country. 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. This fellowship is part of a series of career
awards aimed at building sustainable capacity in areas of research that have
the potential for increasing health benefits for people and their livestock in
low- and middle-income countries.
