The aim of the Research Development Fellowship Programme is to provide opportunities for talented health researchers based in Africa so that they can lead research that is responsive to its African settings and can contribute to reducing the burden of disease. It aims to develop emerging African scientists through developing their skills, experience, confidence, and research outputs.
Fellowships offer awardees the opportunity to develop their own research ideas, research skills, and capabilities, to grow their research relationships through collaboration and mentorship, and to work towards a substantial research funding proposal.
