The grants scheme funds projects across the research spectrum, including lab-based, clinical, implementation and policy-related research, by up to £5,000.
Applications are invited from early career researchers and global health professionals based anywhere in the world, who have not had research funding in their own name before.
Grant requests can be on any area of tropical medicine or global health. RSTMH’s thematic priorities in its current strategy, plus other areas of health that are less well known are encouraged.
