The Carnegie Corporation of New York has awarded grants worth nearly US$10 million to strengthen postgraduate research and training in four universities in Ghana, South Africa and Uganda. The funding will support training for some 120 postgraduates and fellowships for a further 80 scholars. The award is part of Carnegie's efforts "to accelerate the development and retention of the next generation of academics".

The flagship educational initiative of the Claude Leon Foundation is the Postdoctoral Fellowship programme in the sciences, now in its nineteenth year. The main goal of the programme is to help build research capacity in South African universities and research institutions. The Foundation funds both South African and foreign postdoctoral scientists in Science, Engineering and Medical Sciences to increase the volume and quality of research output, develop and transfer technical skills, and generally enhance the research culture in South Africa.
