Thefellowships will be tenable for three years. The first year will be spent at a school of tropical medicine; the second in doing research in thesame or some other institution at home; and the third largely in work under direction at some centre in the tropics. The stipend will be at therates of £300, £400 and £500 per annum in the successive years, with an additional allowance during service abroad and necessary expenses. In three years' time, at least one senior fellowship will be available for candidates who have held the junior fellowships. This will be awarded for a further period of three years, carrying stipend at the rate of £600–£750 per annum, with an additional allowance during service abroad and expenses. The time will be spent mainly in research work in the tropics. The Council is also prepared to consider immediate applications for seniorfellowships from candidates who have had adequate experience in researchwork, whether already specially trained in tropical medicine or not. TheCouncil further intends to establish in due course, as suitable investigators become available as the result of the fellowship scheme, permanentand pensionable appointments for research work in tropical medicine, including senior posts.
