Apply for funding
Many of our funding calls welcome applicants from data scientists – even if they’re not specifically focused on data or technology.
Data for Science and Health Team
Using trustworthy data and digital technologies to transform how science makes discoveries and solves the urgent health challenges facing everyone.
Our work and funding
The Data for Science and Health team shapes and funds data science initiatives to advance Wellcome’s mission. Our work ranges from supporting open-source infrastructure for pandemic response, to funding tools to model climate-sensitive infectious diseases, to launching a data prize to create new tools for mental health research.
Data and software are at the heart of modern science and health. We make sure these tools are designed, built and governed in trustworthy ways. From ensuring technologies are effectively addressing problems they’re made to solve, to consciously developing technologies for – and with – diverse populations.
Collaborate with us
Wellcome regularly publishes opportunities for organisations to work with us to support our mission. These opportunities often have a data or technology aspect.
