Candidate eligibility

The Fellowship programme is open to people working in health, care, and the voluntary sector across the East of England.

Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must:

  • Be working within a health, care, or voluntary sector organisation.
  • Be working in the East of England
  • Not hold a PhD, nor be enrolled in a PhD programme.

Additional notes:

  • Healthcare professionals with a clinical doctorate (e.g. DClinPsy, MD) are eligible to apply
  • The Fellowship is also open to those currently in an academic post who hold an honorary contract with an organisation that provides health or care services, e.g., an NHS Trust, a Local Authority. Their project needs to be aligned with the current health and care priorities. For example, a university lecturer employed at a university in the East of England, who holds an honorary contract with an NHS Trust (one day/week), and aspires to undertake a research fellowship at their NHS setting, addressing one of our regional health priorities, would be eligible to apply for the ARC Fellowship
  • Applicants must be able to commit time to undertake a small-scale research or implementation project alongside their existing role

If unsure, please contact ACD coordinator (E: arceoe.rcd@uea.ac.uk) for an early discussion.
