Description
The Pew Latin American Fellows Program in the Biomedical Sciences supports young scientists from Latin America undertaking postdoctoral training at leading research institutions in the United States. Run by The Pew Charitable Trusts, the program gives researchers opportunities to deepen their scientific knowledge while promoting exchange and collaboration between investigators in the United States and Latin America. Its broader goal is to advance research and strengthen scientific communities in Latin America.
Pew selects 10 biomedical researchers each year. Alongside salary support for U.S. training, the fellowship offers additional funding to participants who return to Latin America to establish independent laboratories. Fellows also exchange knowledge and build professional networks through annual meetings and other events with Pew-supported biomedical investigators across scientific disciplines.
