The RSTMH Early Career Grants Programme 2024 is currently accepting applications. This initiative, offered by the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (RSTMH), extends annual grants to individuals in the early stages of their careers worldwide. The grants support their initial forays into research within the realms of tropical medicine or global health.
Designed to empower early career researchers and global health professionals, the grant facilitates clinical or scientific research and fieldwork. This support can be provided either as independent projects or as integral components of more extensive endeavors.
With a history spanning over 40 years, the grants program has witnessed substantial growth. Since 2017, it has awarded over 800 grants across 66 countries, covering various areas of tropical medicine and global health, including infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, neglected tropical diseases, and external factors influencing global health.
