This Wellcome Trust grant has been made available to facilitate researchers engage the public with their research. Researchers share their ideas with the public and in return get new perspectives on their research and can inspire learning, enhance research and help to improve health. The opportunity gives researchers public engagement funding of level that's justifiable for the scale and scope of their study and proposed public engagement program. The enrichment funding will end at the same time as your central Wellcome grant.

Wellcome Trust invites applications for Wellcome Early-Career Awards. This scheme provides funding for early-career researchers from any discipline who are ready to develop their research identity. Through innovative projects, they will deliver shifts in understanding that could improve human life, health and wellbeing. By the end of the award, they will be ready to lead their own independent research programme. 
Eligibility

Wellcome Trust invites applications for Wellcome Career Development Awards. This scheme provides funding for mid-career researchers from any discipline who have the potential to be international research leaders. They will develop their research capabilities, drive innovative programmes of work and deliver significant shifts in understanding that could improve human life, health and wellbeing.
Eligibility

Wellcome Trust invites applications for Wellcome Discovery Awards. This scheme provides funding for established researchers and teams from any discipline who want to pursue bold and creative research ideas to deliver significant shifts in understanding that could improve human life, health and wellbeing.

The Department of Biochemistry has another exciting Seminar session, via Zoom:

 

Title: Healthy Crops and Foods: What is the Role of a Plant Pathologist?

Presenter: Dr. Pamela Paparu, Senior Research Officer, Legumes Program, National Crop Resources Research Institute, NARO

Date: Thursday 15 April

Time: 12-1 pm

Zoom Meeting ID 948 6044 7753

Passcode 997781

Dr. Pamela Paparu (PP) is a senior researcher responsible for legume pathology at NARO, working on common bean pathology since she joined NARO in 2007. Prior to this, she undertook her MSc. (IITA-Uganda and Makerere University) and PhD (IITA-Uganda and FABI, University of Pretoria), where she researched on the potential of using Fusarium oxysporum endophytes to control the banana weevil and nematodes. Her work involved developing fluorescent protein- and chemical markers for in vivo tracking of inoculated fungal endophytes; and using molecular biology techniques (cDNA-AFLPs, RT-PCRs and photometric enzyme assays) to identify genes induced in the banana plant following endophyte inoculation and Radopholus similis challenge, that may be responsible for endophyte induced resistance to the banana root burrowing nematode. In 2011 she obtained a PEARL award under BBSRC’s “Sustainable Crop Production Research for International Development – SCPRID”, establishing her as an independent Group Leader, and in 2013 she was promoted to the position of Senior Research Officer. Dr. Paparu currently works with several common bean pathogens, including Pseudocercospora griseola, Sclerotium rolfsii and Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. Dr. Paparu is a member of the East and Central Africa Bean Research Network and the Pan African Bean Research Alliance. She has been both PI and Co-I in several collaborative projects, including projects with researchers at CIAT-Uganda, Biodiversity International, University of Reading, UK, UC Davis, California, Michigan State and Kansas State Universities in the USA.

The MIPLC is a part of the DAAD's scholarship program for "Development-Related Postgraduate Courses". The scholarship recipients will be granted a full waiver of the MIPLC tuition and participation fee. In addition, the DAAD will pay the scholarship recipients a monthly stipend of EUR 850. As a rule, the scholarship also includes certain payments towards health, accident and liability insurance coverage in Germany. Furthermore, the DAAD will generally pay an appropriate travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source.

The William T. Grant Scholars Program supports career development for promising early-career researchers. The program funds five-year research and mentoring plans that significantly expand researchers’ expertise in new disciplines, methods, and content areas. Applicants should have a track record of conducting high-quality research and an interest in pursuing a significant shift in their trajectories as researchers.
