Master`s Fellowships in Public Health and Tropical Medicine at Wellcome Trust

Overview
This scheme strengthens scientific research capacity in low- and middle-income countries, by providing support for junior researchers to gain research experience and high-quality research training at Masters degree level.

Research projects should be aimed at understanding and controlling diseases (either human or animal) of relevance to local, national or global health. This can include laboratory based molecular analysis of field or clinical samples, but projects focused solely on studies in vitro or using animal models will not normally be considered under this scheme.
We are particularly interested in requests for research training support in the social sciences, demography, health economics, medical statistics and vector biology.
