Wellbeing of Women Entry Level Scholarships

Wellbeing of Women in association with the Royal College of Midwives is delighted to announce grants available in 2012 for research in pregnancy and birth or quality of life issues

Entry-Level Research Scholarships are to provide ‘pump-priming’ funds to enable trainees to be exposed to a research environment, or to obtain pilot data for bids for definitive funding. Applicants will normally not have been previously involved in substantial research projects or have demonstrated a strong research profile through primary authorship of published research.  Scholarships may be held in basic science, clinical or translational research and are a single payment up to a maximum of £20,000 to go towards salary and/or laboratory costs. One scholarship is reserved for midwives.

All awards must be undertaken in the UK. The closing date for applications  is Friday 14th September 2012. Full details and application documents are available from the Wellbeing of Women website www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk
