Apply for funding to become an IVVN Early Career Researcher training fellow. This fellowship scheme aims to support the professional development of those working in veterinary vaccinology research and innovation over an 18-month period.

The IVVN ECR training fellowship will run in conjunction with a separate One Health mentoring scheme for ECRs working on veterinary infectious diseases funded through the RCVS Knowledge 2024 Plowright Prize.

The scheme will support:

Professional Development: The scheme does not duplicate basic training but instead focuses on building advanced scientific, project management and leadership skills that fellows can apply in their research setting.

Mentorship: including senior researcher mentorship, group networking and peer-to-peer learning within veterinary vaccinology and One Health research.

Multidisciplinary Approach: All activities seek to complement and strengthen linkages across research on veterinary vaccinology and One Health.
