Postdoctoral Fellowship Programs is a grant from Wellcome Trust that supports postdoctoral researchers pursuing early-career biomedical and health science research. Wellcome's fellowships fund individuals at a critical stage of their research career, providing salary, research expenses, and training to develop scientific independence. Funding priorities span basic biological sciences, clinical research, public health, and global health challenges. Award amounts vary by fellowship scheme and career stage. Eligibility is generally open to researchers holding a PhD or clinical doctorate who are within a defined window post-degree. Applicants typically apply through a host institution.
