2023 NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowships in Medicine Guidance Notes 

2023 NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowships in Medicine - Allocated Posts

 

The NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF) is a clinical specialty training post in medicine that incorporates academic training. The NIHR has allocated funding for 250 ACFs for recruitment in 2023/24, through the Integrated Academic Training (IAT) Programme.

The post has a standard duration of 3 years (up to 4 years for GPs). As an NIHR ACF you will have access to Masters-level research training to develop academic skills and spend 25% of your time in research or educationalist training. In 2023, 134 of the 250 ACFs have programmes of research aligned with NIHR IAT Priority Research Themes. The research areas for the remaining NIHR ACF posts will be based on local expertise and the applicant's individual interests.

Full details, including the eligibility criteria for the NIHR ACF, will be available soon in the 2023 Academic Clinical Fellowship (Medical) Guidance Document.

The 2023 ACFs are available from 07 October 2022, with award starting dates between 01 April 2023 and 31 March 2024.

Candidates for NIHR ACFs apply via the online application system Oriel, not the NIHR, because recruitment is managed by Health Education England (HEE) Local Offices.
