Presentation transcript:

Applying for a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship Kate Best

Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship Career stage- early postdoctoral Basic science or population health 4 years of funding, £300k (previously £250k) Application process: Preliminary application Full application Interview AWARD!

Why the Wellcome trust? Advantages Disadvantages Preliminary application first- less wasted time? No costings required- saves you time. Much shorter application than NIHR/ MRC Disadvantages You have to start the full application anyway Can’t reapply with the same project (unless requested) Funds only you

My background 2010-2012- Research Assistant (Newcastle & NuTH) 2012-2016 PhD in epidemiology (Newcastle) 2016 Research Associate (Newcastle) 2017- Faculty Fellowship (Newcastle) I’ve stayed in Newcastle but… Placements (pre-application) at INSERM and Leicester Worked new collaborators (Newcastle, UCL, INSERM, QMUL) into Wellcome application.

Preliminary & Full applications Use ALL the space on the application form (don’t repeat things & be creative!) Read the eligibility criteria and work it in to your application Send your drafts to Gwen & Darren Speak to researchers who have been successful & ask their advice Leave enough time (finance and JRO sign off)

Interview 15 panel members Preparation 3 will ask majority of questions but then its opened up to the rest. Panel members probably not in your specialty Preparation Mock interviews Practice questions Look at who is on the panel Interview questions don’t necessarily echo that of you application feedback
