Supporting the Next-Generation of Scientists
This year we provided financial aid to 524 students, postdocs, underrepresented scientists and researchers from low and middle income countries (LMICs). It is essential to provide these rising stars from around the globe with these unique opportunities for networking and career advancement. The experience of rubbing shoulders with field leaders and forging friendships and collaborations with peers will serve them throughout their careers.
With support from by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we were able to provide 106 scientists from LMICs with Global Health Travel Awards (GHTAs), to attend 10 different conferences on topics of global health importance. GHTA awardees came from 21 different countries, across Africa, Asia and South and Central America, including Argentina, Brazil, Cameroon, Columbia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Mali, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, South Africa, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, Zambia and Zimbabwe! In addition, we provided 78 On Demand Access Awards to scientists from LMICs, in order to democratize access to cutting edge scientific research to communities around the world.
