Medical Professionals

Applications are invited for Clinical Research Fellowships, which will be awarded jointly by The Stroke Association and Medical Research Council. 

The deadline for the 2008/2009 applications has now passed but we are hoping that the initiative will be run again in 2009/2010.  Applications forms will be available from September 2009.

Fellowships offer up to three years support, and are intended to provide an opportunity for clinically trained individuals to undertake training in stroke research.

The scheme is designed to accommodate the dual clinical-research training career path by allowing Fellows to spend up to 20 per cent of their time on NHS sessions. Fellows are required to register for a research degree, normally a PhD, based on research undertaken during the Fellowship.

Further details, application forms, terms and conditions, and instructions for applicants are available from the MRC website.
