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.
Fellowships are for up to five years (non-renewable) and provide support that includes:

Eligibility
- Applications are only accepted in the Public Health and Tropical Medicine Interview Committee remit
- You must be a national or legal resident of a low- and middle-income country and should be either:
- You must have a relevant high-quality publication record and show potential to become a future scientific leader.
- Applicants who do not have a PhD but who are educated to first degree or Master's level and have extensive research experience, as evidenced by their publication record, may be considered.
- Due allowance will be given to those whose career has been affected, either by a late start or by interruption, for personal or family reasons.
- You may apply to remain in your current laboratory (even if you already hold an established post), to return to one where you have previously worked, or to move to a new laboratory, in a low- and middle-income country.
