Proposed research must have relevance to leukaemia, other blood cancers and\/or related diseases. Translational projects are particularly encouraged. Examples of applications that can be considered include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Providing an individual with personal support to enhance their work on a pioneering project within their own research institution.<\/li>\n<li>Providing an individual with an opportunity to further their knowledge and expertise through a secondment to another centre of excellence, either in the UK or abroad, to demonstrably enhance their research on their return.<\/li>\n<li>Enabling an individual to employ a postdoctoral researcher or research assistant to support them on a pioneering project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Applications are invited from scientists and clinician-scientists from across the UK. There is no age limit, although awards are designed to provide an opportunity for talented early-career scientists to develop as independent investigators.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme is open to researchers (who may or may not be medically qualified) who can demonstrate genuine potential to become the leading scientists of the future. Applicants should have a good publication record but it does not need to be exceptional at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>Fellowships are aimed at four main categories of applicant:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Principal Investigators (PI) within two years of first permanent appointment.<\/li>\n<li>Postdoctoral researchers with full PI status or in the process of gaining PI status with no more than six years post PhD experience.<\/li>\n<li>Postdoctoral researchers with no more than six years post PhD experience.<\/li>\n<li>Clinician scientists with no more than six years post PhD experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Awards of up to \u00a3125,000 can be made to span a one to two year period. These may be used for salary and direct costs of a project.<\/p>\n<p>Applications should be submitted by the <strong>closing date of 31 January 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.idoxgrantfinder.co.uk\/education\/Launch\/News\/JEZ3176E0X\/GRUKRES!N7969\">Click to view further information about this news alert<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regards, The RESEARCHconnect team<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The charity Leuka, founded by the late Professor John Goldman in 1982, is dedicated to curing leukaemia and blood cancers by translating research into new treatments.
