Who can apply
Researchers across Africa, including Ugandan applicants, are eligible. Doctoral students, academic teams and community-based organisations may apply when their proposed work is led by a qualified investigator and aligned with the initiative\'s public-health mission.
About this opportunity
The AMBSO Impact Research Initiative funds innovative early-stage research, proof-of-concept projects and emerging ideas addressing priority African public-health challenges. Priority areas include infectious disease, AI and digital health, HIV, climate and health, cancer, maternal and child health, non-communicable diseases and healthy ageing.
Benefits
Successful projects can receive up to USD 10,000 for implementation periods of up to 18 months. Funding can cover direct research costs including protocol development, ethical and regulatory approvals, data collection, community engagement and technical support.
Requirements
Applicants must submit the prescribed Expression of Interest, a detailed project budget and budget narrative and resumes for the Principal Investigator, key investigators and personnel. The proposal must address an eligible public-health research area and present a feasible early-stage or proof-of-concept project.
How to apply
Prepare the official AMBSO Expression of Interest and project budget, assemble the required supporting documents and submit through the AMBSO grants application process by 18:00 East Africa Time on 2026-10-02.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
