Studentships and Fellowships
The Smith & Nephew Foundation awards are focused on funding high calibre nurse researchers who will be role models and potential research leaders in the profession.
The awards are advertised in March each year. They are making a significant contribution to capacity building and all Students and Fellows become part of a growing network of nurses working in centres of excellence in skin and tissue breakdown. These centres focus on portfolios of research that are progressively developing an understanding of tissue integrity and skin breakdown, informing treatment and prevention strategies.
- The Doctoral Nursing Research Studentship (circa £90K over 3 years) which provide support for nurse researchers with strong potential who are at the beginning of their research careers
- The Post-doctoral Nursing Research Fellowship (circa £120k over 3 years) which is designed to enhance nursing post-doctoral research capacity and support outstanding career nurse researchers
- A Joint Doctoral Nursing Research Studentship, or Post-doctoral Nursing Research Fellowship, in partnership with the Multiple Sclerosis Society, is offered as above.
Three key criteria govern the above awards
- Awards are directed to individuals who are supported by an established UK research team in the fields of skin and tissue breakdown
- Awards are open and competitive; they are advertised in the professional press for individuals to apply
- Successful candidates are appointed by a panel of trustees and leading professionals from nursing, using a peer group mechanism for selection
