Weekly round-up #185

Funding

Yesterday VALIDATE announced the launch of our next Fellowship grant call round. Thanks to our funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, we are able to fund 3 fellowships for the 2021 round.

VALIDATE’s Fellowships support two years’ independent scientific research, with the aim of producing initial/pilot data and a funding and experience track record that can be used by the Fellow to go on to obtain independent external funding and launch their career as a Principal Investigator and/or Group Leader.

The call is now open and closes on 15 November 2021. Find out more on the Fellowships page - www.validate-network.org/fellowships
