Across Africa, women remain underrepresented in research, facing systemic barriers that limit their ability to contribute fully to scientific discovery and national development. This initiative is designed to change that, offering targeted support to young women scientists in the life sciences and helping them build impactful careers that drive sustainable progress.
Selected fellows will receive substantial financial support to advance their research, covering essential costs such as materials, equipment, travel, and publications. Beyond funding, the program creates opportunities for visibility, recognition, and engagement in national scientific and technological growth. It is a powerful step toward bridging gender and regional disparities in science, ensuring that women researchers can thrive and lead.
Open to exceptional early-career women scientists across Africa, this fellowship empowers them to transform ideas into solutions that strengthen health, sustainability, and innovation.
💡 Individual research grants available up to five figures (USD) to advance life sciences careers.
