The scheme aims to support research that will improve public health and tropical medicine at a local, national and global level. You can apply for a Training Fellowship in Public Health and Tropical Medicine if you’re a researcher based in a low- or middle-income country and have an eligible sponsoring organisation in a low- or middle-income country that will administer the fellowship for the full duration of the award .

You must want to undertake a guided period of research so that you can consolidate your existing experience and explore new areas of research.

You must be a national of a low- or middle-income country and have: a PhD and be an early-career researcher a degree in a subject relevant to public health or tropical medicine and some initial research experience a degree in medicine and be qualified to enter higher specialist training and some initial research experience. If you don’t have a PhD, we'd expect you to register for one if you're awarded this fellowship.

Your research proposal should focus on one of the areas within our public health and tropical medicine remit . Research can include laboratory-based molecular analysis of field or clinical samples, but we don't usually consider projects focused solely on studies in vitro or using animal models. The funding is awarded during 3 years (you can apply for renewal after this time) and covers salary, fees and research expenses covered.
