About the scheme
Applications are now open for the Centre for Translational Medicine (CTM) postdoctoral Clinical Research Excellence Fellowships (CREFs). This scheme offers up to 24 months of full-time protected research time for health professionals working in translational medicine at the postdoctoral stage of clinical academic training.
The time should be used to generate data to support subsequent funding applications, deliver research outputs such as peer reviewed articles, and build research skills and/or collaborations. A key success metric of the scheme will be obtaining competitive external funding for the next stage of research training eg. Clinician Scientist, Intermediate or Advanced fellowships (or equivalent).
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:
- Fellow salary: This scheme seeks to match the current salary of fellows during the research period, the maximum salary envelope is £180,000 (this includes the total salary costs for up to two years, including all On Costs, ie, pension and NI contributions, but not including on call costs).
- A consumables budget of £10,000 per annum (pro rata), can be requested for research running costs/consumables.
- Flexible bursary of £1,000, per year, eg. for travel to meetings or external training not provided by KHP organisations.
