Academy of Medical Sciences Starter Grants for Clinical Lecturers

Via www.rdfunding.org.uk. The Academy of Medical Sciences is working in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust and the British Heart Foundation to deliver this four year grants programme for research active Clinical Lecturers. It is a £5 million grant scheme which aims to provide modest ‘starter’ funds to enable research active Clinical Lecturers to pursue their research work, gather preliminary data and so further strengthen their applications for longer-term fellowships and funding. The scheme will fund research work of only the very highest quality and where it is clearly demonstrated that the findings will inform the applicant’s future career aspirations and bids for larger scale fellowships.

The maximum grant available is £30,000 and this can be spread over two years to contribute towards new and directly incurred research costs such as consumables and equipment. The scheme is open to medically trained clinicians who have already obtained an MD or PhD and who currently hold a research active Clinical Lectureship post.
