These fellowships provide up to two researchers the opportunity to return to cardiovascular research after a career break of two years or more. The three-year fixed term includes a personalised retraining and mentorship program to rebuild skills and confidence, enabling high-quality research contributions. Fellowships are usually part-time with an option to increase to full-time over the term, held at UK universities or research institutes.
Applicants must have a PhD and preferably postdoctoral experience. Eligibility is limited to those returning to cardiovascular research after a career break of at least two years for family, caring, or health reasons.
