Wellcome Trust

Acerca de Wellcome Trust

Wellcome Trust is a major UK-based global health philanthropy that backs science, research infrastructure, and evidence generation aimed at solving urgent health challenges. Its giving is especially strong in infectious disease, clinical trials, and transdisciplinary research led by institutions in Africa, South Asia, and South-East Asia, while its broader portfolio also supports science communication, research institutions, and public engagement with health and science. The trust often funds large, high-impact collaborations and long-term research capacity, rather than small one-off community grants.
