Description
The British Heart Foundation’s Research Training Fellowships for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals support research training and project work focused on improving care and outcomes for people with cardiovascular disease. The scheme is intended for healthcare professionals working in cardiovascular settings, with a proposed investigation and a training programme identifying the scientific techniques and skills the fellow will acquire.
The emphasis is on cardiovascular care and patient outcomes; more fundamental or basic science research may be better suited to other BHF schemes. Fellowships can support full-time research or agreed part-time working, with provision for patient care alongside research. BHF also considers funding or part-funding fellowships that include research experience with an industry partner, such as experimental medicine.
