Research and Innovation

The Early Career Grants Programme 2022 is open for applications from early career researchers and global health professionals based anywhere in the world, who have not had research funding in their own name before. They can apply for a grant of up to £5,000 (GBP) to deliver a project over one year. The projects can be on any topic related to tropical medicine and global health, from across the research spectrum of lab, translation, implementation, and policy. Applications can be in any area of tropical medicine or global health.

The objective of this call for proposals is to support the development of national and/or regional policies and actions based on scientific evidence and data. This includes for example (but is not limited to) the development of a national approach to sustainable financing, the development of a national approach to equitable governance and/management effectiveness, or the identification of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).
