Supporting research and other charitable activities associated with promoting the concept of “One Health” among the medical and veterinary professions internationally.
The Foundation is registered with the Charity Commission as an independent charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) working in close association with other like-minded organisations including the Royal Society of Medicine, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (and RCVS Knowledge) and the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene.
The main activity of the Foundation is to provide for Travelling Research Fellowships known as “Soulsby Fellowships”. The Trustees aim to award one or two Soulsby Fellowships annually through a competitive application process. Each Fellowship will be granted to an individual who has proposed an impactful project within the international field of “One Health”, and is likely to be between £10,000 and £20,000 in value to cover travel and subsistence expenses in carrying out the project.
The selection of successful applicants will be made by the Trustees of the Foundation. Applicants for a Soulsby Fellowship should be able to satisfy the Trustees of the following essential criteria:
Hold a degree in either human or veterinary medicine;
Be affiliated with a biomedically relevant UK or US academic institution (the Affiliated Institution); and
Be seeking to conduct a project (the Project), normally overseas, in a field related to “One Health” and be able to describe the Project, and potential outcomes and impact of the Project, in detail.
