The Hamied Foundation UK-India Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Visiting Professorship Scheme will support the travel and subsistence costs of UK researchers wishing to visit India to develop long-term collaborations in this highly-important and topical field of biomedical research.
Background
The Academy of Medical Sciences has developed a programme that seeks to facilitate a long-term collaboration between the most talented researchers in the field of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the UK and India.
The programme is designed to help capacity build and is being generously supported by the Yusuf and Farida Hamied Foundation. We also acknowledge the guidance of the Office of the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for England in development of the scheme.
Eligibility
You will be a Professor or senior group leader, based at a UK research institution, wishing to develop a collaboration with a researcher in India in the area of AMR.
The Academy is keen to support a diverse portfolio of researchers through this innovative scheme, to include agricultural, veterinary, environmental and social scientists. In addition, we would be particularly encouraging of applications that seek to address the ‘One Health’ agenda.
You will need to have a contract of employment that extends beyond the date for which funding is being sought.
You will also need to have identified a suitable host in India to support your planned activities.
What is offered
The scheme will enable you to undertake a 1-2 week lecture tour of India with the potential inclusion of laboratory visits. The scheme will cover the costs of UK-India travel and internal transfers, accommodation and subsistence, up to a maximum of £5,500.
The proposed visit should take place within 10 months of the date of award.
The award may not be used to cover research costs or equipment.
