Africa Research Excellence Fund

The Africa Research Excellence Fund is pleased to launch the call for the 2025/26 AREF Research Development Fellowship Programme.

Programme Overview

Aim. To support researchers in Africa who are emerging leaders and working on important challenges for human health, to develop their skills as a researcher.

What we offer. A three to nine-month placement at a leading research institution in the UK, Europe or Africa, with additional support at your home institution before and after the placement. Up to £47,000 available

How to apply. Read the guidance documents carefully before developing your proposal and starting your application. Complete the application form via the portal at https://programmes.aref-africa.org.uk/

Deadline for submission of all application documents:

Decisions. We will notify applicants of the outcomes of their applications by December 2025.

Fellowships. Successful Fellowships can start between June 2026 and no later than December 2026.

It is essential that you discuss your plans for an AREF Fellowship in the context of your career development with appropriate leaders within your Employing Organisation and Host Organisation at an early stage. You need your sponsors and other senior people to agree and support your plans.

AREF does not reimburse your Employing Organisation for your salary while you are away on placement: we do, however, support reasonable accommodation, travel and subsistence, and training costs.
