** This competition is open for applicants in the final year of MD/MS/MPH or have up to 15 years of post MD/MS/MPH or equivalent clinical /public health research experience.
** You do not have to be an Indian national, of Indian origin or be resident in India at the time of application.

** It is not mandatory for those holding a medical degree and/or a MPH degree to also have a PhD in order to apply to our Fellowships.
** The India Alliance appreciates and understands that clinicians and public health researchers sometimes follow a different career trajectory from basic scientists.

What’s Included
The fellowship is for five years, full time and provides:
** Personal Support for the fellow.
** Research expenses (materials and consumables; animals; support to attend scientific meetings; and small items of equipment, e.g. laptop)
** Additional allowances (travel and overseas subsistence) for work outside the Host Institution; these are scientifically justified visits of up to 24 months to an external laboratory either in India or abroad.
