Starter Grants for Clinical Lecturers

The Academy of Medical Sciences is pleased to be working in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust to deliver this grants programme for research active Clinical Lecturers.

Starter Grants aim to provide modest ‘start up’ 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 is open to clinicians who have obtained an MD or PhD and who currently hold a research active Clinical Lectureship post. To be considered as ‘research active’ for the purposes of this scheme, it is required that at least half an applicant’s working time will be allocated to research.

This is a £5m grants programme and the maximum grant available is £30,000 over two years. Applicants should apply only for the costs they require.
