Who can apply
Ugandan researchers can apply through an eligible Ugandan administering organisation. Applicants must meet Wellcome\'s mid-career criteria, be ready to lead an independent research programme capable of making a significant contribution to their field and satisfy the scheme\'s institutional and research-remit conditions.
About this opportunity
Wellcome Career Development Awards support mid-career researchers ready to lead substantial independent programmes related to human life, health and wellbeing. Eligible researchers can lead awards through qualifying institutions in Uganda.
Benefits
Awards usually last up to eight years and fund justified resources required for the research programme. Annual expenditure is normally below GBP 250,000 excluding the applicant\'s salary, although larger proposals may be considered with additional scrutiny. Eligible costs can include salary, research staff, equipment, consumables, travel, visa expenses and specified overseas and family allowances.
Requirements
Applicants need an eligible administering organisation, a substantial independent research proposal, institutional support, a detailed budget and the applicant, team and scientific information required through Wellcome Funding.
How to apply
Confirm applicant and administering-organisation eligibility, develop the full research programme and budget and submit the complete application through Wellcome Funding by 15:00 GMT on 2026-11-17.
