Fellowships

Could THIS be the fellowship programme for you?

Growing capacity and capability in healthcare improvement research is one of THIS Institute’s key goals. We’re achieving that goal through a fellowship programme where talented researchers lead high-quality studies that will advance the field.

Building on the improvement science programmes previously run by the Health Foundation, our programme offers fellows the opportunity to join a supported community of improvement researchers and develop their research leadership skills. Fellowships may be held at any UK university, and are available at three levels tailored to researchers’ specific career stage: PhD, Post-doctoral and Senior.

What we offer

Fellowship awards will include a salary/stipend, fees (where applicable) and research expenses. Though the fellowships are not Cambridge-based, the fellows will convene in Cambridge as part of THIS Community and will have access to a mentoring scheme.
