Fellowship Academy for Medicine and Health
To enhance our support for both internal and external applicants to prestigious personal awards, the College of Medicine and Health has established a dedicated College Fellowship Academy.
The Fellowship Academy aims to attract the next generation of talent seeking personal awards. The Academy will focus on postdoctoral talent development to secure external research fellowships and equivalent awards, such as MRC Career Development/Clinician Scientist Awards, NIHR Advanced Fellowships, UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships, equivalent Wellcome schemes, and ERC Starter Grants. This also includes the pump-priming programmes such as the Birmingham Springboard fellowship.
What does the CMH Fellowship Academy do?
We provide applicants with advice and guidance (e.g. grant clinics, signposting, bid building, interview preparation and post-award mentoring).
We liaise with programme managers of the relevant funding bodies (e.g. planning and hosting multi-funder events).
We provide overarching career guidance and care of a growing cadre of externally funded fellows across the College.
