New Advanced Fellowships in health & work research
The Colt Foundation is partnering with the National Institute for Health Research to co-fund Advanced Fellowships in health and work research.
FOM’s Academic Dean, Professor Ira Madan, believes this is an important step forward in developing research capacity in occupational medicine.
“The appreciation and understanding of the vital role of our specialty has grown during the pandemic. We need to build on this by providing a clear pathway for high quality research. This partnership is a great example of this, and I encourage post doctoral researchers who are interested in work and health research to apply.”
All NIHR Colt Foundation Advanced Fellowships provide the opportunity to undertake exciting and impactful research that will underpin the researcher’s development as an independent future leader. The Fellowship funds post-doctoral researchers at several specific points of career development.
The Fellowship fund:
- full salary support, including protected time to concentrate on research
- research costs
- a bespoke training and development programme to meet individual needs
NIHR Colt Foundation Advanced Fellowships offer researchers the opportunity to be part of an active and supportive community, drawing on the enormous benefits and opportunities of cross-sector working including valuable input from patient groups.
