Starter Grants for Clinical Lecturers

Starter Grants for Clinical Lecturers
The deadline for the next round of applications has been extended. The new deadline is 6 September 2010.IntroductionThe Academy is working in collaboration with the
Wellcome Trust to deliver this four year grants programme for research active Clinical Lecturers.
It is a £5million grant scheme which aims to provide modest ‘starter’ funds to enable research active Clinical Lecturers to pursue their research work, gather preliminary data and so further strengthen their applications for longer-term fellowships and funding.
The scheme will fund research work of only the very highest quality and where it is clearly demonstrated that the findings will inform the applicant’s future career aspirations and bids for larger scale fellowships.
What the scheme providesThe maximum grant available is £30,000 and this can be spread over two years to contribute towards new and directly incurred research costs such as consumables and equipment.
Grants cannot be applied to personal salary costs or for research assistants, PhD students or postdoctoral staff.
