Support for our Fellows
We offer our funded Fellows support to promote their career development and aid their transition to independence. For more information, please contact the Research Team at research@medicalresearchfoundation.org.uk.
CSF
The CSF supports registered health professionals including (but not limited to) nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, healthcare scientists, pharmacists, clinical psychologists, doctors, dentists, general practitioners and veterinarians. Applicants must have completed a PhD, have the skills and experience to transition to independence and show evidence of career progression.
The scheme supports clinically active healthcare professionals who have gained a higher research degree to lead their own research plans, establish their own research team and make the transition to independence.
CRTF
The pre-doctoral CRTF supports clinicians, including (but not limited to) medics, surgeons, dentists, clinical psychologists, public health specialty trainees, allied health professionals, nurses, midwives and veterinarians, to undertake a PhD or other higher research degree.
The post-doctoral CRTF provides a route for post-doctoral applicants who achieved their PhD some time ago but who have not been research active since due to clinical training commitments to reacquire research skills.
