Candidate eligibility

The Fellowship programme is open to clinicians, health & social care practitioners, voluntary sector staff and managers in health and social care services across the East of England, without a PhD. Healthcare professionals with a clinical doctorate can 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
