DH Clinician Scientist Scheme

   
 

The Department of Health Clinician Scientist Award is a scheme intended to nurture a cadre of research-led clinical academics capable of leading development in their discipline. It provides up to 5 years funding with access to academic mentorship and flexible academic career development together with clinical specialist training.  This scheme is a key element of Research Capacity Building within NHS R&D and was established in recognition that an expansion of the number of highly skilled Clinical Scientists is essential if the many advances in biomedical sciences are to be effectively translated into clinical practice.  This scheme aims to specifically encourage applications from clinical scientists whose primary focus and expertise is patient-orientated or applied clinical research ie research with the direct involvement of patients and/or the direct application of laboratory based research or technology to the clinical setting.  The flexibility of this scheme has been improved to facilitate its integration with a broader range of existing and evolving clinical training programmes.  This scheme represents a real opportunity to invigorate clinical research across all clinical disciplines.  More information and application packs are available on the DH and MRC web sites:
