The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Trainees Coordinating Centre (TCC) is launching round 5 of NIHR Research Methods Fellowships and Internships to support the development of individuals with expertise in research methods including:

 

• Medical statistics
• Health economics
• Clinical trial design
• Operational research
• Modelling

 

NIHR Research Methods Fellowships and Internships form part of the NIHR Research Methods Programme, the purpose of which is to:

 

• Attract to the NIHR the most talented individuals, especially those who are not currently working in a health-related field; and
• Provide these individuals with the necessary support and training to become specialist methodologists in areas relevant to the NIHR; or
• Expand their research interests into areas relevant to the NIHR.

 

Applications are invited for funding to host NIHR Research Methods Fellowships and Internships.  Applications must include a named NIHR Senior Investigator as either the supervisor or co-supervisor of the Fellow.  Where a NIHR Senior Investigator is not a methodologist a named methodologist must be included in the application.

 

Further details including the application pack are available at http://www.nihrtcc.nhs.uk/
