There is a national need to develop a cadre of clinician-scientists in South Africa. These are colleagues with a degree in medicine or dentistry who possess a PhD and are equipped and motivated to conduct high- impact research and aspire to hold positions of leadership in the South African academic, clinical and research sectors. Through its Division of Research Capacity Development (RCD), the South African Medical Research Council is committed to addressing this need by encouraging the development of integrated clinical/research training programs for clinicians across all South African universities. RCD invites applications for scholarships/research grants from South African universities on behalf of students or graduates in medicine or dentistry who meet the requirements.
