The RCPCH and Newlife, a pioneering charity for children with disabilities, have combined forces to launch a new research fellowship for a post-doctoral researcher. The fellowship award will support the development of a talented individual to strengthen and deliver impactful childhood disability research and develop their own skills, knowledge and career. The award will see an investment of £263,000 to advance paediatric research in childhood disability.
The fellowship is open to any post-doctoral researcher (PhD or equivalent) who is a registered paediatrician to carry out childhood disabilities research in the UK.
Applications for the award are now live and close 09:00, Monday 4 November 2019.
There is a £434 million funding gap in children’s social care. That means that, every day, disabled children are missing out on £1.2 million of support from authorities.
