The ACO is proud to support Clinical Research Training Fellows (CRTFs) at UCL with bursary funds to supplement their training.
Purpose of the Fund
The ACO has limited funding available until August 2025 to cover certain expenses for clinical research training fellows. Funds will be unavailable past this date and all spend must be completed before the end date.
Application to the ACO Clinical Research Training Fellow Bursary Fund is open to all clinical research training fellows registered within UCL. The Bursary Fund is intended to cover costs for expenses associated with your academic development (e.g. conferences, workshops and research visits including travel, registration and hotel costs). This is not to cover laboratory costs or consumables.
The expectation is that research fellows should normally attend a minimum of one national and one international conference as part of their training whilst at UCL. Given the limited funding available students will not be offered more than two awards during their programme of study.
Each fellow will be allowed a total budget of up to £1,000, pending application approval. This will normally consist of two awards up to £500 each, but can be spent as necessary for eligible and relevant costs to the fellowship.
If approved, bursary funds will be reimbursed to the fellow after conference costs have been incurred.
