The application for the SAPRIN Fellowships for the academic year 2022/2023 is now open by SAPRIN for all South Africans in South Africa.
SAPRIN is excited to announce an opportunity for a nodal PhD fellowship using a Principal Investigator model. The Principal Investigator who will supervise the PhD activities will be the main applicant. The Principal Investigator needs at least three years post-doctoral experience and be affiliated to a SAPRIN node. The PhD student must register at one of the universities associated with a SAPRIN node. The PI will be responsible for the recruitment and supervision of the PhD fellow. The study must make use of Health and Demographic Surveillance System data that is routinely collected at a SAPRIN node, and/or be based on primary data collected in a study that is embedded in one or more SAPRIN nodes. The fellowship will be awarded by an adjudication panel in a competitive process, and the final award approved by the Steering Committee.
