Description

The Fellowships are for individuals who wish to train in research techniques and methodology applied to subjects relevant to the aims of the charity. The scheme aims to train the research leaders of the future in the UK.These awards should not be viewed as project grant applications to simply extend current research as candidates will be expected to demonstrate a significant training element to their project. The awards are not perceived as studentships and the sponsor does not cover higher education fees but it strongly encourages training fellows to independently register for a higher degree.Host institutions are university departments, teaching hospitals or other recognised research centres within the UK. It is essential that a laboratory or unit appropriate to the research proposed is selected, and the necessary equipment and facilities required for the proposed research must be available to the candidate.The aim of the charity is to prevent and treat disease and disability by funding vital medical research in hospitals or research institutions across the UK.The research the charity supports focuses on child health including problems affecting pregnancy, childbirth, babies, children and young people. Within this it supports a broad spectrum of research with the objective of preventing disease and disability and of alleviating physical disability. The emphasis is on clinical research or research at the interface between clinical and basic science.Within these criteria, the charity also supports research and development of equipment and techniques to improve diagnosis, therapy and assistive technology (including orthoses, prostheses and aids to daily living) and encourages applications in the field of medical engineering.
