Oxford Wellcome Trust Training Fellowships for Clinicians
Clinically qualified applicants can apply for an Oxford Wellcome Trust Training Fellowship for Clinicians in Basic Science. These three-year studentships enable qualified clinicians to study for a DPhil in the basic science of the following themes:
- Metabolism (including Diabetes, Endocrinology and Nephrology)
- Genomics
- Haematology
- Infection/Immunity/Inflammation
- Neurobiology
- Cardiovascular
British Heart Foundation (BHF) Centre of Research Excellence, Oxford
The BHF Centre of Research Excellence in Oxford occasionally offers 3-year Clinical Research Training Fellowships for clinicians wishing to undertake a DPhil in Cardiovascular Medicine.
Other non-Oxford funding sources
Clinicians can apply directly to funding agencies or charities, for a personal Clinical Training Fellowship. Some options include:
- MRC (MRC Clinical Research Training Fellowships)
- Wellcome Trust (Wellcome Trust PhD Programmes for Clinicians)
- British Heart Foundation (Clinical Research Training Fellowships)
- Cancer Research UK (CRUK)
You should discuss options with your prospective supervisor.
