Applicants to the Senior Fellowship must be employed by a university or academic research institution for the duration of the fellowship (3-years from Fellowship start date) and must be employed or secure an offer of employment prior to the submission of the application. To be eligible, applicants should have experience of leading relevant research projects with associated publications, managing and mentoring early career researchers, and contributing to strengthening the field of global hygiene research.
The International Collaboration Award is to designed to support new and existing collaborations between academic research institutions.

To be eligible, the partnership must be between at least two academic institutions with at least half of the institutions being based in a low- or middle-income country and having a locally led research team.
