ARNTD & COR-NTD PhD Studentships

The ARNTD & COR-NTD PhD Studentships are prestigious funding opportunities offered by the African Research Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases (ARNTD) in collaboration with the Coalition for Operational Research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (COR-NTD). These studentships aim to support early-career researchers from Africa who are pursuing doctoral studies in the field of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The program provides comprehensive funding covering tuition, research expenses, and a stipend for living costs, enabling scholars to focus on their research without financial burden. Successful applicants will have the chance to work with leading experts in the field, access state-of-the-art research facilities, and contribute to the global effort to eliminate NTDs. The studentships are open to candidates from various disciplines including epidemiology, entomology, social sciences, and health systems research. Eligible applicants must be citizens of African countries and hold a relevant master’s degree. The selection process is highly competitive, emphasizing academic excellence, research potential, and a clear commitment to advancing NTD control and elimination. This opportunity not only supports individual academic growth but also strengthens the research capacity within Africa, fostering sustainable solutions to public health challenges. For detailed information on eligibility, application requirements, and deadlines, prospective applicants are encouraged to visit the official ARNTD and COR-NTD websites.
