The PRISM National Fellowship, a collaboration between Project EduAccess, the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), and the Indian Society of Developmental Biologists (InSDB), is a 2-month immersive, fully-funded research programme designed to nurture the next generation of life science researchers from underrepresented and marginalised backgrounds in India.

The PRISM National Fellowship consists of two core components: a laboratory placement that provides hands-on research experience, and an academic skills programme designed to develop essential competencies for a career in STEM.
