Clinical Senior Lectureship Awards round 5
Nominations for the fifth round of awards are open.
Clinical Senior Lectureship Awards
The Clinical Senior Lectureship Awards (CSLA) are supported by the UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC), as part of its commitment to building an expert research workforce to support clinical research and education in the context of established clinical training pathways. HEFCE, the Department of Health and other UKCRC partners are working together to establish a programme of initiatives, as recommended in the final report of the sub-group of UKCRC/Modernising Medical Careers, chaired by Mark Walport.
The CSL Awards will accommodate, among others, the new generation of trained clinical academics emerging from the dedicated training programmes now being established. The objective of the awards is to develop high-quality capacity and secure long-term sustainability and enhanced outcomes in research and teaching at senior lecturer level. Awards will be made in areas of clinical medicine and dentistry.
HEFCE and the local NHS trusts are offering funding for up to 200 posts through five annual rounds of awards. Each post runs for five years and will normally be taken up at any time between 1 August and 31 July of the academic year following the award.
