Discovery Research funding webinars for global researchers

Posted By Wellcome Trust On 11/06/2023 @ 11:58 pm In Events | No Comments

Join the Wellcome Trust online to learn how Wellcome Discovery Research funding can support research and researchers based in low- and middle-income countries around the world (apart from India and mainland China).

We fund discovery research through our funding schemes to support a broad range of researchers and disciplines. These funding schemes are open to researchers in low- and middle-income countries ^[1] (LMICs) apart from India and mainland China.

Review all funding oppertunities ^[2] on the Dementia Researcher website.

Discovery research ^[3] is our term for studies, across a wide range of disciplines, that lead to new knowledge and insights into human life, health and wellbeing. This includes research that may have clinical or societal impact, or translational potential, or research focusing on diseases of global, regional or local importance.

As a global funder, we aim to grow and diversify the research and researchers we fund by supporting a range of projects that better represent the international research community.

We know that if we are going to make a significant impact on improving human health, we need to fund research led from a diverse range of countries, perspectives and experiences.

Join our webinars to hear more details and ask questions on how your research fits our Discovery Research remit ^[4].
