Welcome to the Department of Medicine. The Department of Medicine is a large clinical department which plays a leading role in medical education and research, and provides clinical services to the communities of the Western Cape and, in the case of our highly specialised services, to patients throughout southern Africa.
The way Wellcome funds is changing to support our new strategy. We’ll support discovery research in any discipline through a simplified set of funding schemes. The new schemes are designed to give researchers across career stages more freedom, time and resource to pursue their ideas and build a better research culture.
Join this webinar to hear more about our new schemes from Alyson Fox, Director of Research Funding and Michael Dunn, Director of Discovery Research.
