Senior Fellowships in Public Health and Tropical Medicine

Course(s) Offered: Public health, Tropical medicine & related fields
Course Level: Graduate (fellowships, research)
Provider: Wellcome Foundation
Country to Study in: Any low/middle-income country

Scholarship Description
The Senior Fellowships in Public Health and Tropical Medicine supports outstanding researchers from low- and middle-income countries to establish themselves as leading investigators at academic institutions in low- and middle-income countries.

This fellowship is the most senior of a series of career awards aimed at building sustainable capacity in areas of research that have the potential for increasing health benefits for people and their livestock in low- and middle-income countries.

This scheme may be of particular interest if you're an intermediate career fellow (such as an Intermediate Fellow in Public Health and Tropical Medicine) and this fellowship is the next step in your career as a research scientist. Research projects should be aimed at understanding and controlling diseases (either human or animal) of relevance to local, national or global health.

Eligibility
You can apply for a Senior Research Fellowship in Public Health and Tropical Medicine if you:

are a national of a low- or middle-income country
have a PhD or a degree in medicine and are qualified to enter higher specialist clinical training
have five to twelve years of postdoctoral research experience.

If you don't have a PhD or a degree in medicine, you may still be considered if you have a first or a Master's degree and can show substantial research experience.

You must also:

have made significant progress towards establishing yourself as an independent investigator
have a strong track record in your area of research
have sponsorship from an eligible host organisation in a low- or middle-income country
have a research proposal that is within our public health and tropical medicine remit.

If you've been away from research (eg for a career break, maternity leave, or long-term sick leave), the Wellcome Foundation will allow for this when your application is considered. If you've taken formal maternity, paternity or adoption leave as the primary carer, or long-term sick leave, we’ll allow an extra six months for each period of leave when we consider your postdoctoral experience.

Selection criteria:
Wellcome particularly encourages applications from researchers from low- and middle-income countries who want to return to their home countries.

When Wellcome looks at your application, it'll assess:

your track record
the quality and importance of your research question(s)
your approach to solving these questions
the suitability of your research environment.

Eligible groups
Citizens of low- and middle-income countries. See the complete World Bank list of such countries

Participating Institutions
You must be based at an eligible host organisation in a low- or middle-income country that will administer your fellowship for the full duration of the award. This can be at a not-for-profit organisation that Wellcome has checked for eligibility and that has signed up to Wellcome's grant conditions.

You should give careful thought to your choice of sponsor. Your sponsor’s support and mentorship should be part of a longer-term commitment to help you achieve your career aspirations.

Fields of study
Your research proposal should focus on one of the areas within Wellcome's public health and tropical medicine remit (see more on this here). Research can include laboratory-based molecular analysis of field or clinical samples, but we don't normally consider projects focused solely on studies in vitro or using animal models.

Sponsorship duration
Up to five (5) years in the first instance. You can apply for renewal after this time

Scholarship benefits
The support includes a basic salary, personal removal expenses (if you have to move to take up your post) and research expenses (staff, materials and consumables, animals, equipment, access charge, research management and support costs, travel and subsistence, overseas allowance, fieldwork expenses, inflation expenses, publication costs, clinical research costs and other costs).

You can apply for an International Recruitment Supplement (if you're being recruited from outside the UK or Republic of Ireland) and public engagement funds (to involve the public in your research and inspire learning)

After completing a year of this fellowship, you can apply for enhancement funds (to allow you to explore new opportunities or paths of discovery, or support unanticipated costs).

You must submit your application through the Wellcome Trust Grant Tracker (WTGT) via the official website. The application process may take up to four months to complete, from receipt of the main application, and consists of the following 5 stages: preliminary application submission, full application submission, scientific review and shortlisting, external peer review AND interview.

How does the scholarship work sef?
Do I need to first gain admission into the school before being eligible for the scholarship?

Patiently read through the post.

Just about a month ago, I was feeling weak and visited the doctor to ascertain my state of health. The malaria parasite test was negative; however, I informed the doctor of previous angina( chest pain); prior use of atenolol. I made the work of the doctor easier, he requested for an ECG, which came out abnormal suggestive of a heart problem, known as pericarditis. I know some of my reader might be experiencing similar symptoms, take time to read through the article below copied from http://nigeriahealthwatch.com to learn more of how you can prevent heart diseases!




In June 2016, Stephen Keshi, former Super Eagles head coach, died at age 58 of a suspected cardiac arrest. Four days later, Shuaibu Amodu, another former Super Eagles coach, was found dead in his bed, aged 54, after complaining of chest pains the night before. There are countless stories of other young Nigerians who have just apparently “slumped and died.” These stories all affirm a growing epidemic of heart disease in Nigeria and other low and middle-income countries.

Previously thought to be a disease of developed or high-income countries, cardiovascular disease – namely heart attacks and strokes – have been making their slow but inevitable and deadly rise in Nigeria. According to data from the World Health Organization, over half a million Nigerians died from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in 2012, and 1 out of every 5 Nigerian adults over the age of 30 will likely die prematurely from NCDs, including cardiovascular diseases. In terms of risk factors for heart disease, 35% of Nigerian adults had elevated blood pressures in 2008, another 6.5%, mostly women, were obese.



These numbers are likely to increase substantially in the near future given the significant changes in our lifestyles and habits that are making us more susceptible to these diseases. When you add this to the prevailing situation of a very weak health sector in Nigeria, which lacks the capacity and needed human and financial resources to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, the situation becomes even more dire. If comprehensive steps are not taken, at all levels, including the individual, the health system, and government policies, then the stories young people dying in their most productive years from cardiovascular diseases will continue.

The majority of heart disease and stroke is preventable. Cardiovascular risk factors are well known. They include risks tied to behaviours such as tobacco use, and a lack of physical activity which can lead to being overweight and becoming obese, metabolic risks such as elevated blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and diabetes. Comprehensive action in population-based interventions, as well as interventions in the health system, can significantly reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases. This has been seen in high-income countries such as the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, where deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been significantly reduced over the last 20 years. There is a chance to close the gap between our extensive knowledge of how to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease and the current practice, or lack thereof, in Nigeria.

framingham heart study

On the population and policy level, we need to institute stronger enforcement of existing tobacco legislation Although the Nigerian Tobacco Control Act was signed into action in 2015, several of its provisions were too weak and its implementation in Nigeria by the Federal Ministry of Health has been lacking. The ban on smoking in public places needs to be enforced, taxation on tobacco products needs to be increased and other provisions of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) to which Nigeria signed in 2006 need to be enforced. Other interventions such as salt reduction policies, increased taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages, bans on trans-fats and a policy to enforce the reduction of saturated fatty acids needs to be developed. These policy measures are important to reduce the exposure to unfavourable risk factors at a population-wide level.
A 2014 poll conducted by NOI Polls and EpiAFRIC found that most Nigerians do not think they are at risk of heart disease. Source: noi-polls.com

Our health services also need to be revamped and retooled from providing episodic one-time care for malaria and other infectious diseases and equipped to provide long-term chronic care of the kind that is needed to manage individuals with hypertension, high cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors who are at high risk. The concept of ongoing care to identify, monitor and treat risk factors as needed at the primary health care level is key as these conditions often remain undiagnosed and untreated until they result in often fatal consequences. To ensure that the largest number of Nigerians can access care regardless of their socioeconomic status, care needs to be provided at local health centres with the appropriate medications and equipment to diagnose, treat and monitor these conditions.

There is also a need to improve the acute care of cardiovascular conditions for people who present with heart attacks, strokes and other consequences of these conditions, including heart failure and dangerous heart rhythms. There is a critical need for a system of pre-hospital and emergency care, as prompt recognition and treatment of these conditions is often required for effective treatment. These systems are currently absent in Nigeria, irrespective of your status in society. Without a robust basic emergency care system as well as tertiary level care including necessary drugs and technology, coronary care units, cardiac catheterization labs, CT scans and stroke units, these conditions become almost universally fatal, in spite of good evidence for very effective interventions.
52% of Nigerians were not aware of heart disease in this 2014 poll. Source: noi-polls.com

The lack of public awareness and health education on cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors remains a major issue. Recent data from an NOIPolls and EpiAFRIC poll conducted in 2014 showed a low awareness of cardiovascular diseases amongst a sample of Nigerians (52% were unaware of cardiovascular diseases), combined with a high proportion of those surveyed with hypertension, obesity and other conditions that increase the risks for heart disease and strokes.

There is a need to institute comprehensive health education to increase awareness of the major risk factors for heart disease and strokes and also to sensitize the population to the signs and symptoms of major cardiovascular disease. Do most hypertensives realize that they need their medications every day, and not just when their blood pressure is “high” or they have a “headache”? Can most people recognize chest pain or pressure radiating down the left arm with nausea or sweating as a potential heart attack? Can the average Nigerian recognize the signs and symptoms of a stroke? The need to increase awareness and advocacy for cardiovascular diseases is a critical link in addressing the burden.

So what can the average Nigerian do to reduce their risk of a heart attack or stroke? If you smoke, the time to quit is now. Smoking is one of the biggest modifiable risk factors for heart disease and stroke. We need to improve our diet by improving intake of fruits and vegetables and cutting down the intake of saturated fats, red meat and fried foods. If you are not exercising at least 30 minutes a day for at least 5 days of the week, your physical activity level is too low. Exercise does not always have to include a vigorous work-out at the gym, walking daily for at least 30 minutes counts towards exercise. Finally, for all adults over the age of 40 or younger if there is a history of heart disease in the family, know your numbers. Do you know your blood pressure? Do you know your cholesterol level? Have you been tested for diabetes? Do you know your cardiovascular risk? If you do not know these numbers, now is the time to visit your primary care provider to get this information and to follow-up ever year for updates.

Within these tragic stories, there is a chance to change the narrative. We can stop this disease from killing us at our prime but the time to act is now. Coach Keshi and Coach Amodu would have certainly wanted to make one last significant contribution to a nation to which they had already given so much

We too frequently become adept at pointing out our flaws and identifying failures. We need to become equally adept at citing our achievements. We have to be willing to say to ourselves, I’m on the right road. I’m doing OK. I’m succeeding.

How do we change our mindset from fault-finding and uninspiring to one that’s positive and motivating? Here are three ways to stay motivated:

1. Chart your progress.

Identify things you are doing now that you weren’t doing one month ago… six months ago… a year ago. What habits have changed?

Doing well once or twice is relatively easy. Continuously moving ahead is tough, in part, because we so easily revert to old habits and former lifestyles. So give yourself regular feedback to monitor your performance and reinforce yourself positively. Don’t wait for an award ceremony, promotion, friend or mentor to show appreciation for your work. Take pride in your own efforts on a daily basis.

2. Keep the end result in sight.

Always see the big picture of the ultimate goal you’re working for and the benefits that come with it.

During World War II, parachutes were being constructed by the thousands. From the workers point of view, the job was tedious and repetitive. It involved crouching over a sewing machine eight to 10 hours a day, stitching endless lengths of colorless fabric. The result was a seamless heap of cloth. But every morning the workers were reminded that each stitch was part of a life-saving operation. As they sewed, they were asked to think that this might be the parachute worn by their husband, brother or son. Although the work was hard and the hours long, the women and men on the assembly line understood their contribution to the larger picture.

The same should be true with your work. Each thing you do benefits someone, something—the lives and well-being of adults and children throughout the world, not just generally, but specifically. These are the visions that drive us through tedious details to the top.

3. Set up a dynamic daily routine.

Getting into a positive routine or groove, instead of a negative rut, will help you become more effective. Why is the subway the most energy efficient means of transportation? Because it runs on a track.

Think of the order in your day, instead of the routine. Order is not sameness, neatness or everything exactly in its place. Order is not taking on more than you can manage, without still being able to do what you really choose. Order is the opposite of complication; it’s simplification. Order is not wasting a lot of time trying to find things. Order is avoiding a lot of recriminations because you didn’t do something you promised. Order is setting an effective agenda with others so neither of you is disappointed. Order is doing in a day what you set out to do. Order frees you up. Get into the swing of a healthy, daily routine and discover how much more control you’ll gain in your life.

Researchers from the World Health Organisation (WHO) recently announced that coffee and herbal tea consumed at normal serving temperatures do not cause cancer and should not be labelled as carcinogenic.

The findings have knocked the cancer risk of these drinks down to zero, some 25 years after the WHO classified coffee as a possible carcinogen that could lead to bladder cancer. But the scientists still say that drinking extremely hot beverages might cause cancer of the oesophagus.

The conclusion was drawn after 23 scientists from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reviewed more than 1,000 studies on coffee’s link to cancer. They report that, “there was inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of coffee drinking overall”.

This is great news for coffee lovers everywhere, which – statistically speaking – is a whole lot of us. Americans alone spent more than $74.2 billion on coffee in 2015, which isn’t that surprising, considering that coffee is consumed more than tap water in the US. In 2014, over 150 million 60-kilogram (132-pound) bags of coffee were ground up and drank globally.

So now we can all continue chugging our lattes without worrying too much about them causing us increased risk of cancer. Unless, as the researchers note, you like your coffee extremely hot.

While the team didn’t go into detail about what “extremely hot” actually means, they do say that coffee consumed at “serving temperature” is fine. That means somewhere around 65 degrees Celsius (150 degrees Fahrenheit).

It’s not that the coffee suddenly becomes a carcinogen when heated to a high temperature, though. The researchers instead think that repeated scalding of the throat might lead to the formation of tumours, though evidence of this is currently limited.

“These results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of oesophagal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible,” IARC director Christopher Wild told AFP.

To make a good cup of coffee, the water temperature while brewing should be somewhere between 90.5 degrees Celsius (195 degrees Fahrenheit) and 96 degrees Celsius (205 degrees Fahrenheit). When served, that temperature drops rather quickly. If it didn’t, the coffee would be too hot to comfortably drink, which is what you should avoid.

The basic rule of thumb here is that if the coffee burns you, wait a few minutes. Not only will this possibly reduce your risk of oesophageal cancer, it will make for a better coffee drinking experience, because who wants a side of pain with their morning cup of Joe?

While the WHO media team didn’t mention anything about the potential health benefits of coffee in their change in recommendations, other institutes have pointed out that coffee could actually prevent many types of cancers.

The American Institute for Cancer Research says:

“Coffee’s possible link to cancer is a well-studied one, with over 1,000 studies on the topic. Early in the research, some studies hinted that coffee might increase cancer risk. Larger and more well-designed studies now suggest the opposite: it may be protective for some cancers.”

Cancer isn’t the only disease that coffee could reduce. Earlier this year, researchers from the University of Southampton in the UK found positive results with liver disease, concluding that “having two cups of coffee a day appears to reduce the chances of developing the disease by 44 percent, based on data from 430,000 individuals spread over nine studies”, David Nield reported for us back in February.

Let’s be clear though – despite the wealth of research into the potential health benefits of coffee, nothing definitive has yet been found. It could be that we’re trying really hard to find something beneficial in drinking coffee, because that would be very convenient, given how many of us do it. So we have to remain skeptical for now.

As the research continues, we might find real health benefits in our coffee drinking, but we really don’t need more of an excuse other than it tastes delicious and we’re all really, really tired.

Regardless of your age or family history, a stroke doesn’t have to be inevitable. Here are some ways to protect yourself starting today.

Age makes us more susceptible to having a stroke, as does having a mother, father, or other close relative who has had a stroke.

You can’t reverse the years or change your family history, but there are many other stroke risk factors that you can control—provided that you’re aware of them. “Knowledge is power,” says Dr. Natalia Rost, associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and associate director of the Acute Stroke Service at Massachusetts General Hospital. “If you know that a particular risk factor is sabotaging your health and predisposing you to a higher risk of stroke, you can take steps to alleviate the effects of that risk.”

Here are seven ways to start reining in your risks today, before a stroke has the chance to strike.

1 Lower blood pressure

High blood pressure is a huge factor, doubling or even quadrupling your stroke risk if it is not controlled. “High blood pressure is the biggest contributor to the risk of stroke in both men and women,” Dr. Rost says. “Monitoring blood pressure and, if it is elevated, treating it, is probably the biggest difference women can make to their vascular health.”

Your ideal goal: Maintain a blood pressure of less than 120/80. But for some, a less aggressive goal (such as 140/90) may be more appropriate.

How to achieve it:

a. Reduce the salt in your diet to no more than 1,500 milligrams a day (about a half teaspoon).
b. Avoid high-cholesterol foods, such as burgers, cheese, and ice cream.
c. Eat 4 to 5 cups of fruits and vegetables every day, one serving of fish two to three times a week, and several daily servings of whole grains and low-fat dairy.
d. Get more exercise — at least 30 minutes of activity a day, and more, if possible.
e. Quit smoking, if you smoke.

If needed, take blood pressure medicines.

2 Lose weight

Obesity, as well as the complications linked to it (including high blood pressure and diabetes), raises your odds of having a stroke. If you’re overweight, losing as little as 10 pounds can have a real impact on your stroke risk.

Your goal: Keep your body mass index (BMI) at 25 or less.

How to achieve it:

a. Try to eat no more than 1,500 to 2,000 calories a day (depending on your activity level and your current BMI).
b. Increase the amount of exercise you do with activities like walking, golfing, or playing tennis, and by making activity part of every single day.

3 Exercise more

Exercise contributes to losing weight and lowering blood pressure, but it also stands on its own as an independent stroke reducer.

Your goal: Exercise at a moderate intensity at least five days a week.

How to achieve it:

a. Take a walk around your neighborhood every morning after breakfast.
b. Start a fitness club with friends.
c. When you exercise, reach the level at which you’re breathing hard, but you can still talk.
d. Take the stairs instead of an elevator when you can.
e. If you don’t have 30 consecutive minutes to exercise, break it up into 10- to 15-minute sessions a few times each day.


4 Treat atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a form of irregular heartbeat that causes clots to form in the heart. Those clots can then travel to the brain, producing a stroke. “Atrial fibrillation carries almost a fivefold risk of stroke, and should be taken seriously,” Dr. Rost says.

Your goal: If you have atrial fibrillation, get it treated.

How to achieve it:

a. If you have symptoms such as heart palpitations or shortness of breath, see your doctor for an exam.
b. You may need to take blood thinners such as high-dose aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin) to reduce your stroke risk from atrial fibrillation. Your doctors can guide you through this treatment.

5 Treat diabetes[/b]

Having high blood sugar damages blood vessels over time, making clots more likely to form inside them.

[b]Your goal: Keep your blood sugar under control.

How to achieve it:

a. Monitor your blood sugar as directed by your doctor.
b. Use diet, exercise, and medicines to keep your blood sugar within the recommended range.

6 Quit smoking

Smoking accelerates clot formation in a couple of different ways. It thickens your blood, and it increases the amount of plaque buildup in the arteries. “Along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, smoking cessation is one of the most powerful lifestyle changes that will help you reduce your stroke risk significantly,” Dr. Rost says.

Your goal: Quit smoking.

How to achieve it:

a. Ask your doctor for advice on the most appropriate way for you to quit.
b. Use quit-smoking aids, such as nicotine pills or patches, counseling, or medicine.
c. Don’t give up. Most smokers need several tries to quit. See each attempt as bringing you one step closer to successfully beating the habit.

chidicute:
i admire your zeal & passion, pls can i get your watsapp contact no or ur email address(if probably u dnt wana give out ur watsapp contact here) , ur email is fine with me...thanks

Hello Chidicute, check your inbox

Miracle212:
Hi Ibrhaim, pls Those other schools apart from (UWE& Worcester whc I know accepts C6 in waec). did they request for IELTS from you or WAEC was okay

I used IELTS.

chidicute:
pls do u know of any sch that dosent require money immediately, cos i cant imagine maself,after paying 30k, my application wont be considered...?

Dear chidicute, your application will definitely be considered but there's no guaranteed admission offer. Any how it is, in our quest to better our lot, we have to make sacrifice of which money is one. This year alone, I have applied to about ten schools in the UK and received about about 7 offers from Universities of West of England; Birmingham;Liverpool John moore;Hull; Durham; Worcester; Westminster. I applied for scholarships but was not awarded one, am I go to give up? Definitely, no! We have to keep trying by improving ourselves so that we can compete favorably with the best from any where. I know of an individual that has been applying for scholarships in the last 11 years but just got awarded two scholarships simultaneously last year, I mean full package that cover tuition fees, flight tickets, monthly stipend etc. Don't give up, keep trying and improving yourself to stand a better chance. I wish you the very best!
