The call for NIHR Pre-Doctoral Fellowships is now OPEN. These fellowships are a fantastic postgraduate opportunity for aspiring methodologists and the Leeds Institute for Clinical Trials Research is actively identifying suitable candidates to support in applying for them.
We see these as a stepping stone to an NIHR doctoral fellowship. They replace the old NIHR Research Methods Fellowships.
The fellowships are designed to support people who are looking to start or advance a career in health research methodology, specifically in one of the following areas –
* Medical statistics
* Health economics
* Clinical trial design
* Operational research
* Modelling
* Bioinformatics
* Qualitative research
* Mixed methods
