This scheme provides junior researchers from low- and middle-income countries with the opportunity to gain research experience and training at Master's degree level. 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 Master's Fellowship in Public Health and Tropical Medicine if you are a national of a low- or middle-income country and hold a clinical or non-clinical undergraduate degree in a subject relevant to public health or tropical medicine. 

You must also:

• be at an early stage in your career with limited research experience (but you must have a demonstrated interest in, or aptitude for, research)
• have sponsorship from an eligible host organisation in a low- or middle-income country
• have a research proposal that is within our public health and tropical medicine remit.

Your research proposal should focus on an area 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.

We’re particularly interested in requests for research training support in the social sciences, demography, health economics, medical statistics and vector biology.

The funding is awarded during 30 months and covers studentship stipend, fees and research expenses
