International Fellowship for Midwives 2016 In association with the Royal College of Midwives and The Burdett Trust for Nursing [http://www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk/downloads/image/RCM%202%20col%20logo(transparent).jpg] [http://www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk/downloads/image/Burdett%20Trust.jpg] This round is currently OPEN for applications, which must be received by 3.00 p.m. Monday 7th March 2016. Wellbeing of Women in association with the Royal College of Midwives and The Burdett Trust for Nursing invites applications for the International Fellowship Award to enable midwives to further develop research interests in midwifery, maternity services, pregnancy, childbirth and women’s health from an international perspective. This award is open to RCM midwives who hold full membership status, who may be experienced researchers or who are new to the research discipline. This research activity can be undertaken in the UK or overseas and is an opportunity for an individual midwife or for a team of midwives. The aim of these awards is to provide ‘pump-priming’ funds to enable candidates to undertake a research project which must address the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 4 & 5 (and corresponding Sustainable Development Goals). The findings could benefit midwives and women globally. Fellowships consist of a maximum of £20,000 to contribute to costs incurred including salary, research and travel costs. In the case of group application, the nominated or identified lead will oversee and administer the allocated funding. Please read the guidelines carefully before applying. You can see details of our previous International Fellowship Awards here, here and here.
