Professional Growth Fellowship Grants

Funding for learning, training and collaborative activities that advance professional growth in bioethics.

About this grant

The Professional Growth Fellowship Grants support scholars, researchers, professionals and people interested in bioethics to advance their professional growth within Southeast Asia. Activities may include organising workshops or conferences, participating in training or continuing education programmes, and taking an important role in collaborative events.

Proposed activities should contribute to the recipient's development while offering potential benefits to the wider Southeast Asian bioethics community.
