Capacity building: clinical research training fellowship

The Capacity Building: Clinical Research Training Fellowship is an MRC-funded fellowship to enable registered healthcare professionals with a PhD to reacquire research skills and pursue a clinical academic research career. Fellowships support projects covering any area of the Medical Research Council’s remit and are based at eligible UK research organisations. Awards fund salary and project costs for a three-year period and cover 80% of the full economic cost. Applicants may also seek joint funding from collaborating organisations.

Applications are welcomed from applicants of all nationalities but the fellowship must be hosted by an eligible UK research organisation and applicants will need or plan to obtain any required UK professional registration.
