Call Opens: Accepting Proposals for 2025 African Phosphorus Fellowship Award

The African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI) has announced its call for submissions for the 2025 edition of the African Phosphorus Fellowship – an awards program created to encourage scientific programs relevant to improving our understanding of phosphorus (P) management in African agro-ecosystems.

As part of APNI’s EXCEL Africa Initiative, the African Phosphorus Fellowship confers awards of $5,000 (U.S. Dollars) to up to five early-career scientists working in either a National Agricultural Research and Extension System (NARES) Institution or African University.

“Together with our partners, we are pleased to make this program available once again to search for innovation in early career research on phosphorus management in African agro-ecosystems,” explained APNI Director General, Dr. Kaushik Majumdar.

This call for proposals opened on May 1, 2025 and applicants should submit their proposals by the 30 June, 2025 deadline.
