Opportunities to Join

Aimed at mid-care to senior academics, our winter school will invite fellows to spend 2-days at the Centre for Evidence and Implementation Science. Through a series of talks and dedicated workshops we will work with you to design and develop your research funding application. Prior knowledge of implementation science is required and fellows will be required to bring an existing project or proposal to work on during the winter school.

Networking opportunities: Our winter school will offer opportunities to build collaborations and network with Winter Fellows and CEIS staff outside of the “classroom.”

A maximum of 20 places will be available at our Winter School taking place on 20-21 November, 2025. Up to 5 fully-funded places will be available to PhD students and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. 
Register your interest for the winter school.

Open to outstanding researchers from across all disciplines and career stages with a strong interest in implementation science.

We have two funded residential fellowships, which are open to researchers across all disciplines and career stages. Fellowships provide individuals with the opportunity to spend one-month at CEIS to undertake discrete research projects and training that will produce a springboard for developing research funding applications and journal publications.

Applications are now open and you use the residential fellowship application form to be considered.

If you are supported by colleagues in RSSD and NIHR RSS, our Fellowship clinic will support ideas, offer mentorship and Q&A from our team and previous fellows. We have substantial experience in supporting externally funded fellowships at all career stages (e.g. NIHR pre-doctoral to senior).

Join us at University of Birmingham on 30 January, 2026 for our inaugural implementation science conference.

We are devising a programme featuring leaders in implementation science from across the UK. Our programme will feature keynote presentations and invited speakers which highlight how implementation science can be used within a range of research projects and topic areas. There will also be multiple opportunities for networking and an Early Career Research poster competition – Abstract submission opening summer 2025. 
Register your interest for the conference.
