Eligibility: Each of the scholarships has its own set of eligibility criteria which applicants should check carefully to make sure you are eligible before they apply.
You can apply for a Senior Research Fellowship in Public Health and Tropical Medicine if you’re an established researcher leading your own independent research programme. The programme of work you propose must be innovative and ambitious.
You must be a national of a low- or middle-income country.
You should have a PhD or a degree in medicine and be qualified to enter higher specialist clinical training. You must also have significant postdoctoral research experience.
If you don’t have a PhD or a degree in medicine, we may still consider you if you have a first or a Master’s degree and can show substantial research experience.
You should be able to show:
- your work is important, original and has impact
- you have made important contributions to your area of research, eg publications, patents, software development or an impact on health policy or practice
- you have an international reputation as a research leader in your field
- you’re committed to developing and mentoring less experienced researchers.
You must have an eligible sponsoring organisation in a low- or middle-income country that will administer the fellowship for the full duration of the award.
If you’ve been away from research (eg for a career break, maternity leave, or long-term sick leave), we’ll allow for this when we consider your application.
This scheme may be of particular interest if you’re an intermediate career fellow (such as an Intermediate Fellow in Public Health and Tropical Medicine) and this fellowship is the next step in your career as a research scientist.
We particularly encourage applications from researchers from low- and middle-income countries who want to return to their home countries.
Your research proposal
Your 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 normally consider projects focused solely on studies in vitro or using animal models.
Your research proposal must:
- describe an innovative and ambitious programme of work
- explain the approaches you will use to deliver that programme of work
- be distinct from, and not replace, activities already supported by other awards.
We will review:
- your research contributions as an independent researcher
- the importance of your research question(s)
- the feasibility of your proposal
- the suitability of your research environment(s).
