Wellbeing of Women's offers funding opportunities at four different levels:

The research must be undertaken in the UK. The next grant round will be advertised in June 2010.

Research Training Fellowships
designed to further the training of a medical graduate embarking upon a career in obstetrics and gynaecology. Fellowships are awarded for up to three years and cover the cost of a full time salary per annum for Specialty Registrar (or equivalent), plus research expenses and registration fees for a higher degree. The 2010 grant round is now open.

Entry-Level Research Scholarships
intended to provide ‘pump-priming’ funds to enable trainees to be exposed to a research environment, or to obtain pilot data for bids for definitive funding. Applicants would normally be within the first few years of graduation. Scholarships are a single payment up to a maximum of £20,000 to go towards salary and/or laboratory costs. The 2010 grant round is now open.
