Fellowships
| An important part of gaining your independence as a researcher is getting to grips with fund-raising and writing grant applications. Getting experience of applying for grants by writing sections of applications for your principal investigator – and finding out how an experienced and successful grant applicant thinks it is done – is a useful way to start. But sooner, rather than later, you should think about applying for your own fellowship. |
| Here are some of the larger and most prestigious schemes available in the UK. Others may be available to you from, for example, disease-specific medical research charities.
