PenCLAHRC PhDs
.jpg)
PenCLAHRC has a number of PhD studentships linked to project and priority areas. As well as the scientific quality of the proposal and strength of the supervisory team, these projects were selected on the basis of the following additional criteria:
- Congruence with PenCLAHRC aims
- Link to existing PenCLAHRC projects or themes
- Likelihood of health impact
This is an important area of capacity development to ensure that a pipeline of trained research staff is maintained in the longer term. PenCLAHRC staff are also active as supervisors for other projects across our two University partners.
PhD projects in second round of PenCLAHRC (2014 - 2018)
There are 11 PhD studentships funded in the second round of PenCLAHRC, with at least two studentships in each of our research themes. An additional four studentships are funded as part of our NIHR Research Capacity in Dementia Care Pilot Programme (RCDCP), which are fellowships for nurses and allied health professionals.
Further information on all of these studentships is provided below:
