Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking (EDCTP3)

Outstanding Female Scientist Prize

Awards EUR 20,000 to a woman scientist recognised for global-health research and mentorship in sub-Saharan Africa.

This is a recognition prize, rewarding work already done, rather than an inducement prize that sets a target before the work happens. Applicants must identify as female and submit a letter of support from another member of the research community, alongside their own CV and that of the person providing the support; the technical narrative, Part B, is capped at 45 pages and evaluators won't read pas

This prize supports new and established women scientists who have worked on Global Health EDCTP3 programme priorities in sub-Saharan Africa and made a significant scientific contribution. It also weighs measurable research-capacity building through training and mentorship of future African researchers and scientists.
