Welcome to the Discovery Research Support Hub (drsh)! We are here to support early career researchers (ECRs) and mid-career researchers (MCRs) in Malawi and across the SADC region, to achieve research independence.
The hub is a Wellcome-funded initiative, aimed to support ECRs and MCRs in developing internationally competitive grant applications for Wellcome’s Discovery research schemes and other fellowship scheme applicable to lower middle income countries applicants.
The drsh utilizes a modular strategy consisting of the following key work packages:
- Fellowship Preparedness (up to £85,000): A general support pre-fellowship scheme (12-18 months duration) to give high-potential candidates the required research time to ensure they can prepare an outstanding application.
- Target scheme support: Support for candidates who are preparing a specific application or have already been shortlisted for a specific scheme, to improve the quality of the application and their success rate following submission.
Through these packages the drsh offers a range of tailored services to empower your research journey, including
Tag Cloud

Interview preps
Writing Boot Camp
