Online Meeting

The IDM Research Funding & Career Accelerator is a strategic development programme designed to support a cohort of early- and mid-career IDM researchers who are ready to accelerate their careers through targeted fundraising and long-term research planning.

Delivered in partnership with the African Research Funding Accelerator, participants will receive in-depth support from a team of research development specialists to strengthen their five-year research strategy, enhance their online research profile, and identify major funding opportunities across research grants and philanthropy. 

The programme is ideal for researchers looking to formalise their long-term research vision, think strategically about large funding calls over the coming years, and invest in building a stronger professional presence. Researchers interested in learning more are invited to attend an online information session on Thursday, 21 May from 12:00–13:00, where Accelerator Director Zoë Boshoff will provide further details about the programme and what participants can expect.
