Community Engagement and Outbreak Stigma Fellowships

Community Engagement and Outbreak Stigma Fellowship Applications are now open for the ISARIC Fellowship Scheme. The Fellowship Scheme supports researchers working within, or closely collaborating with, an ISARIC Member Network based in a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) to develop locally-led projects that strengthen community engagement and social science capacity for outbreak preparedness and clinical research. Two six-month fellowships are available through this open-call. Applicants are invited to apply for one of two fellowship pathways:

• Community Engagement Fellowship
• Outbreak Stigma Fellowship

Applicants are encouraged to read the Fellowship Guidance before applying.

Application deadline: Friday 21 August 2026.
