Description
The British Heart Foundation’s Clinical Senior Research Fellowship supports outstanding clinician scientists who have recently been awarded, or are on a trajectory towards, a professorship. It helps established independent researchers grow their research groups and build on their work within BHF’s cardiovascular remit. Applicants may come from any clinical specialty, provided their proposed research fits that remit.
The fellowship supports research projects, including clinical studies, alongside research staff, essential equipment and professional development. It recognises that clinical activity can contribute directly to research, particularly in highly patient-orientated projects. Overseas research visits may form part of the award, and independent mentoring is encouraged to support career and professional development. International researchers and researchers returning from career breaks can apply, subject to the relevant entry requirements.
