RSTMH are delighted to announce that our new grants round is now open. RSTMH are pleased to be able to offer £100,000 in this new round of travel scholarships and small grants.
Our aim is to support clinicians and scientists in all disciplines of tropical medicine and global health. This includes the relationship between human health and animal health, in the pursuit of themes of clinical or scientific research or fieldwork.
Our focus will be on the early-career investigator (maximum 15 years active relevant training or employment) with clear research plans, adequate supervision and institutional support, and few alternative sources of funding.We are particularly looking to fund projects with a strong element of creativity and/or innovation that will have benefits beyond the academic community and will make a tangible and measurable difference.
We will consider applications for travel and training scholarships (up to £1,000) and small grants (up to £5,000) such as pump-priming grants, pilot studies or discrete elements within larger projects.
The regulations and application forms can be downloaded from here. The deadline for submitting applications is Friday 27 January 2017 and disbursements will be made from April onwards.
