TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, is a global programme of
scientific collaboration that helps facilitate, support and influence efforts to combat diseases of poverty.
It is co-sponsored by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), the World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Clinical Research Leadership (CRL) fellowship programme, launched by TDR in 2023, is based on four
pillars:
Pillar 1: Improved clinical research skills obtained through flexible placement of fellows at Training
Partner Organizations (TPOs).
Pillar 2: Strong clinical research leadership skills acquired through customized learning, coaching and
leadership experience at the home institution, geared to each fellow’s needs and interests.
Pillar 3: Enhanced gender equity promoted through active measures to ensure fair participation of
women, men and people who do not fit into these binary gender identities.
Pillar 4: Strengthened institutional capacity by maximizing the fellow’s contribution on re-entry.
This new fellowship programme will maximize the value of the clinical research skills obtained through the
placement at a TPO by focusing on research leadership, with fellows using their clinical research skills, in
conjunction with competencies and capabilities to effectively communicate with, and support, members
of a multidisciplinary team. Every effort will be made to support the participation of women, notably in
building on learnings from former fellows and institutional development plan will enable the fellows to
maximize their contribution to strengthening their institution on re-entry and develop and manage a
research team to undertake a research study. Fellowships are anticipated to greatly contribute to the
advancement of top and promising researchers, enhancing their impact on the improvement of research
institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including the facilitation of peer training.
In order to be considered eligible for the call, the applicant should:
• be a national of, and resident in, an LMIC.
• be a postgraduate PhD or MD; MSc pharma graduate, with proof of experience of clinical research
