The Newton Advanced Fellowship 1. Overview This is a new programme focusing on early to mid-career international researchers who have already established (or are in the process of establishing) a research group or research network and have a research track record. The focus will be on developing their research strengths and providing support for more formalised training and development in collaboration with a UK partner. The award will support the international researcher in their own country, providing them with funding through a UK partner to establish and develop collaborations with the UK with the intention of transferring knowledge and research capabilities to partner countries. The Fellowship can be for one, two or three years, and can provide salary top up, research support, training costs and travel and subsistence . Objectives of the Royal Society - Newton Advanced Fellowship: We will recognise and support early career group leaders in partner countries to develop their research by linking them with some of the best research groups in the UK. The primary aims of the programme are to:  Support the development of a well - trained research community who can contribute to poverty alleviation by transferring new skills and creating new knowledge which can lead to changes in the wellbeing of communities and increased economic benefits.  Strengthen research excellence in partner countries by supporting promising independent, early- career researchers and their research groups and networks to develop their research through training, collaboration, reciprocal visits and the transfer of knowledge and skills from the UK.  Establish long-term links between the best research groups (and networks) in partner countries and the UK to ensure that improvements in research capacity are sustainable in the longer term. Subjects covered: These awards will support researchers working on a subject wit
