The Sanger Prize is an outreach competition aimed at undergraduate students who live and study in low or middle income countries. The winner of the competition is invited to spend three months at the Institute working in a lab of their choice, hosted by a member of the Sanger Faculty. All of their essential travel, living and training expenses are paid for by the fund, and support and mentorship is given by the Institute, both from the scientific programme they work with and the team who administer the fund.
