What the Scheme Provides

What the scheme provides:
  • The opportunity for medical researchers and bioscientists from the Middle East to visit a research institution of their choice in the UK and the opportunity for those from the UK to visit a research institution of their choice in the Middle East.
  • Airfare and a subsistence allowance for a period of up to four weeks.
  • Funding provision to an upper limit of £4,000 per fellowship.
The aim of the scheme is to encourage researchers to experience an alternative research environment, to learn new techniques and initiate ideas for future collaborations. The Fellowships are aimed primarily at young scientists embarking on a career in research. As part of the application process, applicants are required to identify the institution that they intend to visit and must contact and secure support from this institution and relevant department. The institution must confirm its willingness to host the applicants visit, as part of the Daniel Turnberg Travel Fellowship Scheme.


What the scheme does not provide:

The Scheme does not cover bench fees, any contributions towards salaries, departmental costs or expenses relating to accompanying dependents. (This list is not exhaustive but offers examples of the type of costs that cannot be covered by the fellowship grant).
