RSTMH enable early career researchers and global health professionals in the field of tropical medicine or global health to undertake clinical or scientific research and/or fieldwork, either as stand-alone projects or distinct elements within a larger project. They are for those who have not received a research grant in their own name before.

RSTMH anticipate that most applicants will be at the start of their careers, though it recognises that some more experienced professionals may be new to research and will still be eligible to apply for a grant.

Research Area:

Applications 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. These are listed below:

· Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), with a particular focus on their overlap with Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and the Sustainable Development Goals
