Global health research
We fund research in public health (including communicable and chronic diseases) and tropical medicine (including clinical and biomedical) as set out in our International Strategy. Examples of research we have funded can be found on our past funding pages.
Public health and tropical medicine fellowships
Providing personal support specifically for researchers in developing countries.

Biomedical Research Careers Programme for India (external link)
For outstanding medically qualified or science graduates across the full spectrum of biomedical research, from fundamental molecular and cellular studies through to clinical and public health research.
Researchers from developing and restructuring countries are eligible to apply for research support in collaboration with a UK/ROI partner.
Developing and restructuring country researchers may be eligible to apply for support without needing a UK/ROI collaborator if they can demonstrate that they have established a strong independent track record of research accomplishment.
Please refer to programme and project grant schemes for further details.
