Chile's National Research and Development Agency (ANID) has restricted eligibility for its 2027 Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme, the country's main funding scheme for early-career researchers. The new rules limit applications to Chilean citizens and foreign researchers who already hold permanent residency. Applicants who intend to obtain residency after receiving the fellowship are now excluded from consideration.
The eligibility change represents the first time ANID has imposed such restrictions on the postdoctoral fellowship program.
