Abstract
Women continue to be underrepresented in science, particularly in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). As part of efforts to address this challenge, the project team designed a fellowship programme specifically for women working in veterinary vaccinology in LMICs. The programme funded fellowship awards of up to £50,000 per fellowship to support the professional development of women in LMICs by enabling them to work with senior local and international mentors on a defined piece of research. The research problem is still relevant after this project has ended and this project highlighted the continued need to support women in science, particularly in LMICs, and illustrates the incredible amount that can be achieved with relatively small amounts of research funding, short research projects and great mentorship.
