Continuing support
This part of the MCDC programme provides continuing support for doctoral and postdoctoral fellows trained under the Gates Malaria Partnership, to encourage them to remain in Africa and to be active in research.
Through this award, fellows will receive mentorship to support their research, and training to become PhD supervisors. They will also have the chance to network regularly with past and current students, as well as having access to a small-grants fund, which can be used to support short-term visits to other institutions or meetings, to help in the analysis of completed projects or to develop new research proposals.
