This new grant will give high-calibre and talented clinicians the opportunity to undertake research training in the area of cardiovascular disease, learning new techniques and acquiring invaluable research skills. These grants differ from project grants in that emphasis is placed on the qualities of the applicant as well as the merits of the research proposed. The Research Training Fellowship scheme reflects HRUK’s commitment to ensuring that first-class research into heart disease and related conditions continues in the future.

Two Fellowships will be awarded; one to a surgeon and one to a physician.

Maximum award is £150,000

Deadline: The closing date has now passed. The application period will open again in autumn 2010.
