For 2023-24, IMMANA will award six career development Fellowships to researchers who are validating and applying innovative methods and metrics to measure change and impacts of policy or program interventions in agriculture, nutrition and health in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs).
Proposals will include plans for support from two Mentors, one from the applicant’s current or previous employer or academic institution, and one from a host institution where the applicant proposes to advance their work, with at least one of the two being physically located in Africa or Asia.

Eligible candidates for an IMMANA Fellowship may come from any country or background, but will have an earned doctorate (PhD, DPhil, DPH, MD, DVM or similar degree) in fields related to agriculture, nutrition or health and be building a career in research, education, and engagement at the intersection of two or more of these fields.

IMMANA Fellowships will aim for equal representation of women and men. We particularly welcome early-career applications and citizens of LMIC countries as well as individuals with research or faculty appointments in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia.

About Agriculture, Nutrition and Health (ANH) Academy

The Agriculture, Nutrition and Health (ANH) Academy is a global community of interdisciplinary researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working on agriculture and food systems for improved nutrition and health, with over 7,000 members in 145+ countries, over 60% of whom are in Africa or Asia. It aims to facilitate the sharing and adapting of methods and metrics developed through IMMANA grants and fellowships but is also a broader partnership that fosters and convenes the community of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working at the intersection of agriculture-food

Aim and Benefits of IMMANA Fellowships

During the 12 month period, Fellows will receive the following financial support:

• A fixed stipend of £40,800 paid in quarterly instalments against satisfactory completion of program milestones.
• A research allowance of £9,000 to cover travel and other fieldwork expenses, also paid as lump sums for achievement of program milestones.
• An honorarium of £2,100 to each of the mentors paid in two instalments at mid-term and end of the year, on submission of a satisfactory mentorship report.

During their Fellowship year, successful candidates will complete and submit for publication at least one potentially high-impact research finding, which they will also communicate through scientific groups including the
Agriculture, Nutrition and Health Academy. IMMANA Fellows are expected to play an active role in the ANH Academy, bringing diverse perspectives to leadership across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.

The IMMANA program aims for equal representation of women and men with a wide range of expertise, and we particularly welcome applications from citizens of LMIC countries.

Requirements for IMMANA Fellowships Qualification

• Eligible candidates will have completed a doctoral degree (PhD, DPhil, DPH, MD, DVM or similar terminal degree) in any field related to agriculture, nutrition or health research and practice, and be actively engaged in research, education, and engagement at the intersection of two or more of these fields.
• Eligible candidates should have no more than 3 years of post-PhD experience prior to their proposed Fellowship start date.
• We anticipate that IMMANA Fellows will bring diverse perspectives to leadership in agriculture, nutrition, and health. IMMANA Fellowships will aim for equal representation of women and men, and we particularly welcome applications from citizens of LMIC countries.
• Applicants must propose to to validation and/or apply a recently-developed methodological approach to agriculture, nutrition and health research under the joint supervision of two Mentors, one from the applicant’s current or previous employer or academic institution, and one from a host institution where the applicant proposes to advance their work.
• At least one of the two Mentors must be physically located in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia
• The two mentors need not have equal roles in the project, but having both be involved should help accelerate research and sharing of ideas between the Fellow’s home and host environments.
• We are particularly interested in applicants who aim to build careers or already have institutional affiliations in a research institute or university in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, but applicants may be of any nationality and have earned their doctorate anywhere.
