The Iolanthe Midwifery Trust is currently accepting applications for the second Iolanthe Midwifery Research Fellowship.
The fellowship is designed 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 his/her 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.
Please go to www.iolanthe.org/Awards for further details and to download an application form.
CLOSING DATE FOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP: 28th APRIL 2008
