Applications for the CGI Fellowship are currently under review, with selected fellows set to be announced next month🧑🏽💻.
The fellowship officially begins in May and will take the fellows through a structured programme✨. Stay tuned!
#CGIFellowship
In 7 days, 1,854 people from 60 countries applied to the CGI Fellowship, and as highly encouraging as this level of response is, it is also profoundly telling of the lack of enough clear, accessible entry points for students, graduates and early-career scientists.

We encourage all applicants to submit their application on or before the new deadline.

Introducing the CoGSAYR Genomics for Impact (CGI) Fellowship✨️.
The CGI Fellowship is a 10-week virtual program designed to do expand access to practical genomics training in a beginner-friendly, locally-relevant format.

Deadline: 28 February 2026
If we're serious about closing the gap, we have to start differently. Start with beginners. Start with practical skills. Start with mentorship. Start in context. Start with training designed for impact👨🏽💻.
But what does that look like in practice?
We'll show you in a bit✨.
Data without people does not change outcomes, and the future of genomics in Africa won't be built by infrastructure alone, but by a critical mass trained to use it well.
More data. More tools. More genomics happening across Africa than ever before. But training hasn't kept the same pace: deliberate and contextually relevant training👩🏽💻.
The gap isn't exactly disappearing; it's changing shape. But what does closing the gap really require? Next up.
