NIHR Research and Global Professorship call 2023/24

31 March 2023

The call is not yet open but we anticipate the guidelines to be similar to the previous year. See the criteria for both schemes. We anticipate the call to go live towards end of October 2023 with a deadline in December 2023.

This call will be demand managed by the Faculty since there are strict restrictions on the total number of applications permitted from any single HEI. If you are interested in applying, please send a full copy of your CV and a brief summary (no more than 1 page of A4) of your intended research proposal highlighting your research question and plans latest by the 28th April 2023 to Adam Wilkinson (a.wilkinson@qmul.ac.uk)
