Small Grants 2021

RSTMH has partnered with the Wellcome Trust to support Snakebite research as part of our 2020 Small Grants programme. Wellcome will be funding up to 10 selected small grants of up to £5,000.

Dr Diogo Martins, Wellcome’s Policy & Advocacy Lead said: « We’re delighted to partner with the RSTMH for the Small Grants scheme for the first time in 2020. Snakebite research has received negligible investment over the years. We hope these grants will encourage early career researchers from diverse contexts and disciplines to tackle what is arguably the world’s biggest hidden health crisis. This will be a valuable complement to our recently launched programme and will help seeding the pipeline for the future leaders in Snakebite research. »
** Upon funding, awardees would be subject to Wellcome’s terms and conditions.

RSTMH has partnered with International Trachoma Initiative (ITI) to support trachoma research as part of our small grants programme. ITI are funding four selected small grants of up to £5,000.

Dr Paul Emerson, ITI Director said: « These grants will generate new knowledge of direct relevance to trachoma elimination and can also help launch the careers of the next generation of NTD warriors. The first opportunity is often the most important for junior researchers and we look forward to continuing this partnership. »

RSTMH has partnered with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), the research function of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), to provide funding for up to 100 small grants for applicants from low and middle-income countries  as part of RSTMH’s 2020 Small Grants Programme. Read more here
