New scholarship to celebrate Black History Month 2022

The funding is open exclusively to Black heritage staff who want to develop their clinical research career. It offers the full costs of a Masters in Science or equivalent postgraduate qualification, mentoring and support from Research & Innovation.

This new scholarship is designed to support the training and development of early-career clinical researchers from Black backgrounds. At least one scholarship will be awarded each year after a competitive selection process.

The launch of this scholarship is part of our commitment to promote greater equality, diversity and inclusion in clinical research, by recognising the disadvantages that Black people face due to discrimination.

This scholarship is open exclusively to those working in a healthcare, clinical research or related role within Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and who are from a Black heritage background.

The funding will help you to develop your skills and contribute to new knowledge in one of the research priorities for NUH. You will also be contributing to the research community and helping it to respond effectively to current and future challenges in clinical research.

The scholarship covers the costs of training, travel, and opportunities to begin developing your research career within NUH.
