Encouraging and helping interested professionals to be part of research and potentially pursue an academic career path is one of the key aims of the SRG.
With Castang Foundation funding, two BACD-Castang Foundation Programmes have been completed. We are delighted that Fellows from both programmes have received considerable clinical research funding:
- >£3.2M to Fellows from programme one; and
- >£2.5M to Fellows from programme two
Whilst the SRG can’t claim complete credit for this, the Fellows have clearly indicated that their participation in the Fellowship programme greatly influenced their applications and improved their chances of success. In addition, two NIHR Fellowships have been awarded, and several Fellows have been appointed to new NHS and clinical academic posts.
