The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine is offering research prize fellowship for both scientifically and clinically trained applicants. The research undertaken may be in any area of bio medical research. The bulk of the research must be conducted in the UK or Republic of Ireland, but research with some overseas’ studies is acceptable, and awards are transferable between institutions. Research can be in any area of biomedical research. Applicants may be scientifically or medically trained and will have their personal salary provided from either their host institution or another source such as a Fellowship. The application deadline is 4 December 2015.
Study Subject(s): The research undertaken may be in any area of bio medical research.
Course Level: Fellowships are available to undertake research in a not-for-profit organization in the UK and Republic of Ireland (eg University, Charity-funded research institute or Research Council institution).
Scholarship Provider: The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine
Scholarship can be taken at: UK or Republic of Ireland
Eligibility: The Lister Institute seeks diversity amongst its Prize –winners – there is no stereotype for the ideal candidate but there are some eligibility criteria:
-Research training – the Lister Prize Fellowships are open to both scientifically and clinically trained applicants.
-Research Area – the research undertaken may be in any area of biomedical research in its broadest context.
-Research experience – every applicant should have a minimum of three and less than ten years’ post-doctoral experience by 1 October 2015. Post-doctoral experience will be taken from the date that a PhD or MD is awarded or the earlier if the candidate holds both degrees. Allowance will be made for ‘time-out’ from research such as for maternity leave or full-time clinical training, in addition the Institute will consider other personal circumstances that may have limited research time or might in the future. Details may be provided on the form or advice sought from the Institute’s Administrator before application.
-Location – the Lister Institute will fund research in the UK and the Republic of Ireland provided that it is undertaken in a not-for-profit organization such as (but not exclusively) a University, Research Council Unit or Charity-funded Institute.
-Employment – the Lister Prize Fellowship funding must not be used to provide or augment the applicant’s salary. Therefore, regardless of nationality the applicant must be employed by a UK or Republic of Ireland not-for-profit organization and have guaranteed funding for the first three years of the Lister award. Since the Lister Prize Fellowship does not provide a personal salary the holders of Fellowships from other organizations are, of course, eligible to apply.
Scholarship Open for International Students: Candidates of any nationality employed by a UK or Republic of Ireland not-for-profit organization can apply for these prize fellowships.
Scholarship Description: The Lister Institute Research Prize Fellowships are one-off awards which seek to help support and nurture future leaders of biomedical research by providing £200,000 (or equivalent euros) which may be used in any appropriate way to support the holder’s research, other than the provision or augmentation of personal salary, over a period of up to five years. The awards are aimed at younger, rather than established, researchers who might be in their early years of running their own groups and for whom receipt of the Prize would ‘make a real difference’. There are up to three competitive awards per year (occasionally four as in 2013) which are made after a written application process which culminates in an interview with members of the Institute’s Scientific Advisory Committee. The time-scale from application to commencement of award is as follows – application by early December, review through to interview in May and start of the award in October (this may be delayed if requested). The Institute currently receives around 60 applications for the three Prizes; around 20 candidates are long-listed and up to ten interviewed.
Number of award(s): The Institute currently receives around 60 applications for the three Prizes; around 20 candidates are long-listed and up to ten interviewed.
Duration of award(s): It is a one off award which may be used over a period of five years.
What does it cover? Total offer is of £200,000 (or equivalent euros) which may be used in any appropriate way to support the holder’s research, other than the provision or augmentation of personal salary, over a period of up to five years.
Selection criteria: The Prize Fellowships are intended to provide funding which will enhance or expand an on-going research activity or enable a new area to be developed and, as said above, would have a high impact for the recipient – they are not project grants! The perceived beneficial ‘impact’ of the Prize on the recipient and their career will be a key factor in the selection process.
Notification: Candidates should be aware that interviews for the short-listed candidates will take place in London on Wednesday 18th May 2016.
How to Apply: The mode of applying is by post and electronically. If experiments on animals, for which a Home Office Licence is required, form part of the research proposal, please confirm that the relevant project licence is already available. (If not a copy must be submitted to the Institute before that work is undertaken if a Research Prize is awarded).
-If supported by a Fellowship, Programme grant or other award that terminates during the first three years of the Lister award, then the application must be accompanied by a letter from the Head of Department or Finance Office guaranteeing financial or bridging support for the remainder of the first three years.
(All enclosures must be in clear text [not less than 12pt print size], with all margins not less than 3cm wide.)
-The signed original form and thirteen complete copies (Parts 1-7) should be sent via Royal Mail and returned by Friday 4th December 2015.
-A copy of the Application form Parts 1-4 only, and 7 a, b and c (summary, research proposal and CV) should be e-mailed to the Institute in PDF format.
