January 14, 2008

The Commission supports mid-career academics from developing countries to spend periods of up to six months in a UK academic institution.

Nominations are made through specific developing country universities, who are responsible for advertising the awards. In the case of Bangladesh and India, they are made by the Universities Grants Committee of the country concerned. Sri Lanka nominates through the Ministry of Education and Pakistan through the Higher Education Commission.

Approximately 60-70 Fellowships are awarded each year.

 

Application forms should be typed/word processed rather than handwritten. The PDF file should be completed on your pc and then printed and returned to your nominating agency/institution. Please note, however, that this file can not be saved part way through to be completed later so you may wish to first draft the answers to longer questions in a word or other word processing document and then paste these sections in to the pdf when you have finished them. Please refer to the prospectus and selection criteria before making your application.

 

There are additional requirements for awards involving Clinical training in Medicine and Dentistry.

Nominations are invited to reach the Commission by 31st December each year.

Applications are considered according to the following selection criteria:
• Academic merit of the candidate
• The quality of the proposal
• The likely impact of the work on the development of the candidate’s home country
