Value of Award: 

  • A typical budget we expect to receive is US$40,000 for a two-year project.
  • Salary support will be available when required to give fellows partial or total release from other duties for
    the project duration.
  • It is expected that most fellows will continue to be based in their home institution. However, additional travel and subsistence funding will be available to allow some fellows to be based at a centre of excellence outside their own city or country of residence for up to 4 months per year

Duration of Programme: 1-3 year projects may be proposed. Most fellowships will last for two years, with a
minority lasting one or three years.
