MRC/Novo Nordisk Clinical Research Training Fellowship

Via www.rdfunding.org.uk. A junior research training fellowship will be awarded jointly by the MRC and the Novo Nordisk UK Research Foundation (a charity supporting diabetes research, funded by, but completely operationally independent of Novo Nordisk UK). The purpose of the joint fellowship is to support a young doctor in obtaining a higher degree in clinical research into diabetes.

At the pre-doctoral level, the fellowship provides a competitive personal salary up to but not including NHS consultant level, and a research training support grant of up to £15,000 per year (or £45,000 over the three year period). This may cover consumables, PhD fees, equipment, conference travel, other course fees; however, each item must be separately costed and justified. At the post-doctoral level, the fellowship provides a competitive personal salary, up to but not including NHS consultant level, research expenses, and travel costs at an appropriate level for the research, under full economic costs (FEC).

Application details can be found on the website below; the closing date is 15 September 2011.
