Wellcome Call for Applications: International Training Fellowships
Wellcome offers this scheme called “International Training Fellowships” which gives nationals of low- and middle-income countries the opportunity to receive training at postgraduate or postdoctoral level.
You must be based at an eligible host organisation in a low- or middle-income country for the research project. This could be your current organisation or a different one. When your host organisation submits your application, they must agree to provide the space and resources you’ll need from the start date through to the end date of your award. You can do your training at centres of excellence regionally or internationally.
Eligibility and suitability:
- you’re a national of a low- or middle-income country
- your proposed research focuses on a health priority in a low- or middle-income country
- you have sponsorship from an eligible host organisation in a low- or middle-income country apart from mainland China.
- you have a PhD and be an early-career researcher OR have a degree in a relevant subject and some initial research experience OR be a clinically qualified doctor (and be qualified to enter higher specialist training), vet, dentist or clinical psychologist, and have some initial research experience.
You must want to undertake a guided period of research so that you can consolidate your existing experience and explore new areas of research.
