Re-entry grants are intended to
facilitate the career development of young scientists from
disease-endemic countries (DEC) returning to their home institutions
within 12 months following completion of a graduate degree (MSc, PhD) or
post-doctoral training period. The goal is to enable young scientists to
establish their research careers within a documented career development
plan. Applications must be designed as an integral part of an
institutional programme that clearly documents the career development
plans for the applicant.
Proposals are reviewed on the basis of
scientific merit, the career development plan for the applicant and
relevance of project to the home institution. Therefore, in addition to
a proposed research agenda, applications must include a career
development plan developed in consultation with the immediate supervisor
and endorsed by the home institution director. To increase the relevance
of the immediate past training, supporting letters from 2 training
supervisors are also required.
Re-entry grants are awarded on a
competitive basis for a 3 year period. A maximum 40 000 US dollars is
awarded over the 3-year period. Applicants must be nationals of
disease-endemic countries.
