As part of long-term sustainable development, research on Africa’s health challenges needs to be led by Africans, plugged into global knowledge networks. To build the expertise, experience and exposure of African scientists to global science, EDCTP runs a range of career schemes, from Preparatory Fellowships for those embarking on a career in research, through Career Development Fellowships for those showing early promise, and Senior Fellowships for the most outstanding research leaders. Through the Senior Fellowship Plus scheme, Senior Fellows also mentor an up-and-coming researcher from a country with a less well-established research base.
