The Wellcome Trust/DBT India Alliance is an £ 80 million initiative funded equally by The Wellcome Trust, UK and Department of Biotechnology, India. The broad aim of the India Alliance is to capacity build the Indian scientific community with outstanding biomedical scientists. To achieve this we provide competitive Fellowships across the full spectrum of biomedical science: from fundamental biology through to clinical and public health research. Fellows are provided research related expenses, a competitive salary, as well as funds for international travel, collaborative visits and staff. Funding is provided for science graduates at key stages of their research careers. Clinical researchers, public health researchers and veterinarians are encouraged to apply.
Deadline for Pre-application: Aug. 31, 2021; March 1, 2022
You do not have to be an Indian national, of Indian origin or be resident in India at the time of application. However, in keeping with our mandate, it is essential that a major part of the research should be conducted at the sponsoring host institution in India.
