The annual

ucl.ac.uk/srs/chadwick-trust" target="_self">Chadwick Travelling Fellowship and Scholarship is now open for applications.

The Chadwick Trust was set up in 1895 under the provisions of the will of Sir Edwin Chadwick to promote research into public health engineering.

Successful candidates are given funding to visit a selected location, and to investigate and report on a current problem in the field of public health engineering, including engineering and environmental aspects relevant to water and sanitation issues.

Criteria

A minimum of six weeks should be spent on activities for the Fellowships or a minimum of four weeks on activities for the Scholarships.

The successful students will then be required to submit a report on their activities within three months of the completion of their project, to Trustees .

• Application for the Fellowship is open to any current postgraduate student of UCL or the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, registered at the time the Fellowship is utilised.
• Application for the Scholarship is open to any undergraduate student at UCL registered at the time the Scholarship is utilised.

Up to £5,000 funding

Student proposals and requests for funding from the Trust should not exceed the maximum amount of £5,000 for MPhil/PhD students, £2,500 for Master's students and £1,250 for undergraduate students.

Due to the limited nature of the funds available, the final amount awarded to successful project proposals is at the discretion of the Trustees and may be less than that initially requested.

All applications and project proposals submitted to the Chadwick Trust should demonstrate how they are relevant to the aims and objectives of the Trust. Students should also demonstrate how the research is relevant and contributes to their programme of study.

The Trust is unable to consider retrospective applications.

Application forms, together with a copy of the Regulations & Guidance Notes, can be downloaded from the Chadwick Trust website.
