Rothamsted International
African Fellows Programme

Applying for a AFP Fellowship

The deadline for full-proposals is Monday 21st November 2008.
Next pre-proposal call is to be announced.

Applications involve a two-stage process with first a pre-proposal, which can be submitted with or without the support of a European partner. Applicants who are successful at this stage are then invited to submit a full-proposal with their European partner.

Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis decided by an assessment panel and will normally be for periods of 6 months although they can range from 4 to 12 months depending on the nature of the project.
