RSTMH Early Career Grants Programme – Guidance 2024

Many early career researchers ask us what makes a good RSTMH Early Career Grants application, and how they should tackle certain parts of the application form, particularly as they are applying for a grant for the first time. 

To help with this we will be uploading examples of grant award-winning application forms. We have included a few examples of a high-quality project statement, which is the part of the form where you lay out your background, aims, methods and expected outcomes for the project. Find these below. 

• RSTMH Early Career Grants Programme case study 1: Project statement
• RSTMH Early Career Grants Programme case study 2: Project statement

We have also compiled an example of what a good Early Career Grant budget should look like. Find this below

We asked some of our former RSTMH Early Career Grant awardees what advice they would give to anyone thinking of applying for a grant this year. We have compiled their responses here.
