NHS Researcher Development Fellowships – Open for Applications

The NHS Researcher Development Fellowship is an introductory fellowship aimed at NHS employees currently working as a Nurse, Midwife, allied health professional, pharmacist, healthcare scientist or other in a clinical role to enable them to explore research as part of their existing NHS role.

The fellowship can be used in a versatile way either providing a realistic introduction to research by participating in a research study and receiving mentorship and support regarding the next steps, or for candidates who already have some research experience as a way to develop additional skills and in some cases the time and mentorship to develop a competitive PhD fellowship application.

This is also an opportunity for experienced NHS researchers to mentor and support health professionals at the start or their research journey. – Closing Date for applications Wednesday 05 February 2025.

Applications will be made on a new grants management system which will replace the current email-based application going forward. Applicants will be able to submit and manage their applications from the pre-award stage through to post-award and completion of the award stages.
