The RSTMH Early Career Awards Programme for 2023 is now accepting applications. Early career researchers and global health professionals based anywhere in the globe who have never received research funding of £5,000 (GBP) or more in their own name are encouraged to apply for grants of up to £5,000 (GBP).
The projects can be on any area linked to tropical medicine and global health, from lab through translation, implementation, and policy, and can last up to a year.
Sir James Cantlie and Dr George Carmichael Low created the Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in 1907 to study and debate tropical diseases.
The very first president Sir Patrick Manson, known as the “Father of Tropical Medicine,” was present.
King George V bestowed the prefix Royal in 1920, and the royal link has been maintained ever since – Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is their Patron, and HRH The Princess Royal is an Honorary Fellow.
RSTMH is now an interdisciplinary organization that adapts to shifting patterns and interpretations of modern tropical medicine and global health.
