The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), the Chief Nursing Officer and the Chief Health Professions Officer for England invite applications for the NIHR/CNO Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship Scheme. This scheme is designed to support nurses, midwives and allied health professionals to develop careers, which combine research and continued clinical practice in support of the NHS. 

Applicants should have 1 year’s experience of clinical practice since graduating, and have had sufficient research experience or research training to prepare them to undertake a PhD, and who wish to obtain a PhD by research whilst still developing their clinical skills. The fellowships provide funding for salary and research costs appropriate for a doctoral research training award. For this round, the NIHR particularly welcomes applications, which focus on dementia research. 

Closing Date: 16/08/2012
