From Community Researcher to NIHR Predoctoral Fellow: Temilola Adeniyi’s career journey

Temilola was recently awarded an NIHR predoctoral fellowship. This video explains a bit about how she got here.
Since December 2022, she worked as a community researcher with an organization called Common Ambition Bristol (CAB). CAB is running a major 3-year project in Bristol to reduce HIV rates and improve sexual health in the city's African and Caribbean communities.
When the NIHR fellowship opportunity came up, focusing her research here seemed like a great way to drive change on a bigger scale. The fellowship will let her spend the next year researching sexual health disparities among Africans and includes research training and development to prepare for a PhD programme.
