Please note that for this round, the NIHR Fellowships Programme is participating in the upcoming NIHR Primary Care Interventions Themed Call and would particularly welcome applications for research on the evaluation of health care interventions or services delivered in primary care settings. The NIHR also particularly welcomes applications that focus on population-based research.

There is also a NEW fellowship launched:

The Transitional Research Fellowship – offers between 18 and 24 months funding to undertake focussed training and development in order to develop specific skills that will enable a transition from basic research into clinical research or from clinical research into translational research. This award should enable successful applicants to better access wider NIHR funding opportunities in the future.

This seminar is in advance of the deadline for applications on 16^th January 2013.
