The International Engagement Awards have been relaunched after the success of the previous scheme. The scheme has been refocused to award projects that are linked to Wellcome Trust-fundedresearch.
International Engagement Awards are for projects that support Wellcome Trust-funded researchers in low- and middle-income countries to:
- engage with the public and policy makers
- strengthen capacity to conduct public engagement with biomedical science and health research
- stimulate dialogue about research and its impact on the public in a range of community and public contexts
- promote collaboration on engagement projects between researchers and community or public organisations.
Projects could engage:
- communities and members of the public (particularly those affected by or involved in biomedical and health research)
- science communicators, health and science journalists
- healthcare professionals, educators, field workers, community workers
- policy and decision makers.
