We will award three travel/research prizes to PhD/MD students studying in the East Midlands. PhD/MD students should be either directly funded by the ARC or their supervisor should have a link to the ARC, either as one of our study leads or as a member of the ARC East Midlands Faculty. Faculty application details, including the application process (free of charge) can be found here: www.arc-em.nihr.ac.uk/about/arc-faculty

Successful applicants will win up to £500 to cover the cost of attendance at a conference (a paper or poster must be being presented), for research data collection costs, to undertake specialist training not offered by their university or for dissemination costs.

Three prizes will be made for costs incurred (or due to be incurred) between 1st April 2023 - 30th September 2023. The event, training or research / dissemination costs must fall between these dates. If in doubt, please email ARC-EM-Training@nottingham.ac.uk to check!
