NIHR/NHSE East Midlands Pre-Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Bridging Programmes
Unfortunately, this scheme has now ended. Alternative sources of support are outlined below.
NIHR pre-doctoral support
The NIHR funds a programme of pre-doctoral training and development designed to advance your health and social care research career. See the NIHR website for details.
These awards are administered by the NIHR. You will require clinical and academic supervisors /mentors and both a host and academic partner organisation.
Staff in the School of Health Sciences and the School of Medicine at University of Nottingham are experienced at supporting people to apply and may be able to help with identifying a potential supervisor.
If you are hoping to undertake masters’ modules, a PGCert Res, PGDip res or a full master’s degree, our MA Research Methods (health) may be of interest.
