Our NIHR ARC-GM Pre-doctoral Fellowship Programme provides research training awards for health and social care professionals (excluding doctors and dentists) working in Greater Manchester who wish to develop their career by combining health and social care practice and development with applied research and research leadership.
Fellowships are available to those from nursing, midwifery, allied health profession, social care, public health, commissioning and policy making backgrounds.
The Pre-doctoral programme is aimed at those who aspire to undertake PhD level study. Award holders receive funded research time, academic supervision and excellent training opportunities to prepare an application for submission for an NIHR or similar doctoral fellowship opportunity, which includes a research proposal and suitable training and development plan.
We are keen to tailor the programme as much as possible to suit the commitments and timescales of applicants; the programme is usually over a one year or two year period.
We welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender, gender expression, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All awards are made on merit.
Applicants are strongly advised to have informal conversations with the team before submitting an application.
