The GFBR fellowships provide a unique opportunity for the Forum participants to explore ethical issues that have arisen during the course of a GFBR meeting and to establish new collaborations. There are three types of fellowship: travel, project and meeting.
The fellowship scheme has been running since the re-launch of GFBR in 2015. Past and current fellows are listed in the tabs below, along with their outputs. You can also hear from the fellows directly in this series of short videos in which they describe their work and its impact.
General conditions
The following conditions apply to all three fellowships:
- Applications for each round are only open to people who attended the most recent GFBR meeting.
- Applications should fit in with the goals of the GFBR and be relevant to the subject matter of the most recent GFBR meeting.
- The normal maximum that can be applied for is US$10,000 but a higher amount will be considered on a case-by-case basis in exceptional circumstances if there is a strong justification. Applicants should not automatically request the full normal maximum.

- Applicants must be based in a low- or middle income country.
- Applicants may only apply for one fellowship in any given year.
