Investigator programme
The MCDC Investigator programme provides continuing support for postdoctoral fellows trained under the Gates Malaria Partnership, to encourage them to remain in Africa and to be active in research.
Through this award, investigators receive support with their research and career development through programmes of Personal Development Planning (PDP) and mentorship. They also have the chance to network regularly with current students and provide help and support.
Investigators also have access to a small-grants fund, which can be used to support short-term visits to other institutions or meetings, to help in the analysis of completed projects or to develop new research proposals.
