You have been invited to a Q&A Webinar about the Pre-doctoral clinical research excellence fellowships, delivered by KHP Centre for Translational Medicine (CTM). In this Q&A Webinar the CTM team will answer your questions about the scheme. 
 
About the scheme
 
Applications are now open for the Centre for Translational Medicine (CTM) pre-doctoral Clinical Research Excellence Fellowships (p-CREFs). This scheme is offered as one year of 100% FTE salary funding to allow protected research time and training for health professionals working in translational medicine. This can be taken at less than 100% FTE and spread over the equivalent time period for Nurses, Midwives, Allied Health Professionals (NMAHPs). Development of external funding applications to support a doctorate is expected during the year and securing further research funding represents a key success metric of the fellowships.
These fellowships are open to all registered health professionals. This includes nurses, midwives, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, healthcare scientists, psychologists and all other registered professions allied to healthcare.

What is offered through the scheme?

This scheme provides:
•    A 50% to 100% FTE matched salary for fellows (up to a maximum of £90,000, which includes Salary + On Costs, but not on-call costs), according to the level of experience and professional group.
•    A consumables budget of £5000 (which can include funds towards PPIE activity). As part of this fellowship, it will be expected you have a budget line for PPIE activity. This may come out the consumables budget or another source but needs to be indicated in the application.
•    A bursary of up to £1000 towards meeting/conference/advanced training course fees and associated travel and subsistence.
