The International Veterinary Vaccinology Network (IVVN) is delighted to announce IVVN Female Fellowship Awards. These awards are open for female postdoctoral researchers working at an LMIC-based research organization (‘Mentee’) to work with a principal investigator (‘Mentor’) in the UK.
Fellowships are available to carry out a defined piece of work that addresses a key bottleneck preventing the development of vaccines for livestock and zoonotic diseases of importance in LMICs. The IVVN aims to promote vaccine research and development against livestock pathogens that cause diseases significant to low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs).
The IVVN has £100,000 of fellowship funding and expects to fund 2-3 projects. Funding will cover salary, travel, accommodation and consumables for the Mentee, and consumables and travel for the Mentor.
