THE IOLANTHE MIDWIFERY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP 2006
The Iolanthe Midwifery Trust is delighted to announce the launch in January
2006 of the new look Iolanthe Midwifery Research Fellowship. The purpose of
this award is to assist a midwife in the final stages of completing his/her
doctorate degree. This award is unique in targeting the writing up phase
rather than the research phase of the doctorate. The aim is to facilitate
the writing process – for example the applicant might choose to use the
funding to buy time out from their clinical or teaching duties.
The Iolanthe Midwifery Research Fellowship is open to applicants who:
* are midwives registered with the United Kingdom (UK) Nursing and
Midwifery Council;
* are PhD students registered with a UK university;
* have completed the actual research study (i.e. data collection and
analysis);
* intend to submit their thesis within 12 months of the start of the
award.
An amount of around £25,000 will be made available to the successful award
winner. The award is a personal award and as such will only be paid directly
to an individual rather than a hospital or other institution.
Application forms and details are available to download from the Iolanthe
website www.iolanthe.org or from the Trust administrator:
