Medical Research Scotland’s 2024 call for doctoral training funding applications to University PhD supervisors across Scotland is open. Applications must be submitted via our online Application Management System.
The charity hopes to fund up to 25 four-year PhD studentships each year, featuring collaborations between Universities and External Partner Organisations. Studentships will start in October of the year following submission of applications and provide students with inspiring research and training experiences.
Funded students receive a generous four-year stipend, up to £35,000 research expenses, £3,000 travel allowance and university fees (home rate) paid.
Applications should:
To be eligible, the Administering Institution must be a recognised Scottish University or Research Institution in which the student will be matriculated and which will award the PhD degree. There is no geographical requirement or restriction for the External Partner Organisation.
There is no requirement or restriction on the subject or nature of the research, provided it addresses a question relevant to human health – the causation, prevention, diagnosis or treatment of illness or the development of medical or surgical appliances.
At least three supervisors are required per PhD Studentship, including a Principal and a Second Supervisor from the Administering Institution and an External Partner Organisation Supervisor.
A Principal Supervisor can only hold one active Medical Research Scotland PhD Studentship, though they can apply as Principal Supervisor for a subsequent PhD Studentship to commence after the completion date of their current one. A Second Supervisor can be supervisor on one or more PhD Studentships.
The External Partner Organisation is expected to make a valuable and meaningful contribution to the proposed research project, the specific nature of which will depend on the proposed project. It must provide an appropriate training programme and work experience for the student. It is anticipated that this will be delivered at an operational base of the External Partner Organisation, though the extent of placements at, and remote interactions with, the external partner organisation should be tailored to the nature of the project and collaboration. The arrangement should be to maximise the benefit to both the student and project.
The external partner organisation must provide the following financial contribution to the Studentship:
