Topic: basic biomedical research

A two-year fellowship helps African faculty apply AI to physical sciences, mathematics, engineering and basic biomedical research. Fellows spend one year in Ann Arbor and then return to Africa. Research on disease diagnosis, prevention or treatment is excluded. Phase 1 closes 5 October 2026 at 23:59 EDT; the expected start is July 2027.

BIF doctoral fellowships support ambitious experimental basic biomedical research, including eligible in silico projects, for two to three and a half years. Support includes a stipend, travel allowances, training and the fellows’ network. The recurring programme has annual deadlines on 1 February, 1 June and 1 October; the next deadline is 1 October 2026. Applicants submit an English-language proposal and the specified supporting documents through the funder’s application process.
