You will benefit from mentorship by key CRE stakeholders working in the appropriate Theme. We have an excellent track record of success in developing both clinical and non-clinical colleagues to their scientific independence.

As part of your application we will require a 2-page outline of your proposed external fellowship, together with details of the specific objectives (eg key preliminary data) required prior to the external submission, that you plan to achieve during the CRE fellowship.
