Research Fellowship Awards

Application Round opens 21 March 2011

Imperial College Healthcare Charity is pleased to launch its Research Fellowships application round for 2011/12. Applications are invited for one year fellowships from staff who also have a clinical role within the NHS Trust. The aim is to support clinical staff interested in research to gain skills and laboratory experience to enable them to obtain further funding after one year from a major grant awarding body.

All applications must be in line with the charity’s strategic aims and in line with the current Academic Health Science Centre research strategy.  The charity has a particular interest in supporting innovative, translational studies arising from sound science.

Applications must meet our strategic aims of “projects that can show how they will have a direct impact on the health of the communities we serve and address health inequalities, patient safety and experience.  The Trustees expect projects to create learning and knowledge that can be disseminated more widely around the NHS”

£50,000 is available for one year only to cover salary and related costs.

Exclusions: applicants must be UK residents. Applicants already holding a PhD will not be eligible nor can this funding be used to cover one year of a PhD.

Deadline for applications: Friday 20 May 2011, 5pm.

Timetable: Applications will be considered by the charity’s Research & Development Committee in late June 2011. Final decisions on funding will be made by its Trustees in late July 2011.
