The second round of this year’s NIHR ARC East Midlands’ PhD/MD student prize is now open for applications.

We will award up to four 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, or to undertake specialist training not offered by their university.

Prizes need to cover costs incurred (or due to be incurred) between 1st October 2024 – 31st March 2025. Your costs must fall between these dates, if not, then you will not be able to apply.
