Dear Madam/Sir,

is pleased to inform you that the
2023 Call for Applications for the OWSD Early Career Fellowships
for women scientists is now open.
We ask you to please share this opportunity with any eligible women
scientists in your own networks who could benefit from this opportunity.
This Fellowship is a prestigious award of up to USD 50,000 ,
generously provided by Canada’s International Development Research
Centre (IDRC), and is offered to women scientists from eligible
Science and Technology Lagging Countries
(STLCs) who have completed their PhDs in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics subjects within the last 10 years and are
employed at an academic or scientific research institute in one of the
eligible countries.
Early Career fellows are supported for three years to continue their
research at an international level while based at their home institutes,
to build up research groups that will attract international visitors,
and to link with industry.
The fellowship provides funding for a wide range of expenses, including
equipment, consumables, research visits, exchanges and programmes,
teaching and assistance, information resources, product development and
linking with industry, outreach, communications and networking, and
other expenses.
A full list of eligible expenses is available in the attached Call for
