Research Training Fellowships for Healthcare Professionals

The British Heart Foundation Research Training Fellowships for Healthcare Professionals fund clinical research training in cardiovascular-related topics, normally to support a PhD-level research project. Awards usually run for three years (applications for longer periods up to five years may be considered for part-time working). Fellowships are intended for healthcare professionals working in a cardiovascular setting and include support for salary, research costs and tuition fees where eligible.

Salary support; research consumables funding (typically <£18,000/year); tuition fees at home rate (subject to cap); travel funding up to £3,000 to attend/present at scientific meetings.

Applicants should be named students who are healthcare professionals working in a cardiovascular setting (nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, clinical psychologists, healthcare scientists, clinical perfusionists, pharmacists). Candidates should usually hold a good quality Master’s degree or equivalent. Applications must be submitted by an established investigator who will be the primary supervisor.

Online application form must be completed (by the established investigator/supervisor). Upload a single PDF Case for Support and required supporting documents following the guidelines on the application form pages.
