Applications were invited for Entry-Level Research Scholarships to enable medical graduates to develop research interests in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. This work must be undertaken in the UK. The aim of these awards is 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, and will not previously have been involved in substantial research projects.
Wellbeing of Women in association with the RCOG invited applications for training in basic science, clinical or translational research including explanatory and feasibility studies in one of the following three areas:
1. Gynaecological Cancers
2. Pregnancy and Birth; including pre-term birth, miscarriage and fertility
3. Quality of Life issues; including menopause, incontinence and prolapse, sexual health, menstrual disorders and endometriosis
Scholarships are a single payment up to a maximum of £20,000 to go towards salary and/or laboratory costs.
Successful completion of an Entry-Level Research Scholarship will be viewed positively should an applicant subsequently choose to apply for a Wellbeing of Women Research Training Fellowship.
