The objective of this funding is to conduct formative or pilot research, (or to complete an existing study), where funds are insufficient to complete the study such that the results can be disseminated; and present the study findings at ISBNPA Annual Meeting in Prague. Applicants should be living and working in, and funded by an institution or organization in a LMIC; or may be living and working in a high-income country but funded by an institution or organization in a LMIC.

Scholarship Details

US$1500 research grant + US$1500 conference travel scholarship + free conference registration + registration to the NESI pre-conference workshop (if applicant is an early career researcher)

The funding can be used for:
• Actual research costs
(e.g. transport for data collection, fieldworker costs, equipment, materials and supplies for data collection)
• Funding contribution for the time of an early career researcher (Masters or PhD student) to complete a specific research task
(e.g. collect data, complete data analysis)
This could be used as contributions towards the salary of a postdoctoral fellow (which may be the applicant, or may be someone other than the applicant) , provided that it is for the completion of a specific research task

Eligibility Criteria :

Early career researchers should be up to 5 years post-PhD. Mid-career researchers should be 5-15 years post-PhD
Consideration may be given to PhD students in their final year of PhD, but this would need to be strongly motivated
Applicants should be living and working in, and funded by an institution or organization in a low- or middle-income country; or may be living and working in a high-income country but funded by an institution or organization in a low- or middle-income country (as recognized by the World Bank)
Each early career applicant should identify a mid-career (5-15 years post PhD) or senior researcher (+15 years post PhD) who is willing to act as a mentor for their project. Mid-career applicants should identify a senior researcher as a mentor for their project. It would be preferable for the mentor to be a member of ISBNPA, and for them to reside in the same country as the applicant. A strong motivation would need to be made for a mentor to be outside the applicant’s country
Applicants may be eligible for funding no more than once every three years
