How to apply

Outline proposal

Please ensure that you have thoroughly read the remit and guidelines before submitting your application.

The purpose of the outline proposal is to establish that your proposed work clearly falls within our remit.  Please note that there is no need to include details of preliminary data or cite references at this stage.

If the outline proposal is acceptable, you will be invited to complete a full application form online, and you will be advised of the timetable.

If your work is considered peripheral to our aims and in cases where demand on our funds is exceptionally high, we may be unable to pursue an application from you.

All would-be applicants should complete the outline form and email it together with a one page CV, to the Research Department (address below), summarising the research proposal and giving an estimation of costs.  Details should include the potential clinical application of the work.

Late applications will not be accepted.

Applicants cannot apply to both Research Training Fellowships and project grant schemes in the same year.
