Peter McGuffin and Anne Farmer Prize Bursaries
The MRC SGDP Centre is delighted to announce two new bursaries.
The Peter McGuffin Prize Bursary
This bursary will cover full fees support for a home/EU scholar, or the same
amount for an international student who would need to meet the
difference in fees personally or from another award.
The Anne Farmer Prize Bursary
This bursary will provide a stipend (to match
RCUK current recommendations) and full
fees support for a home/EU scholar (or the
same amount for an international student
who would need to meet the difference in
fees personally or from other funding), for a
medic or clinician employed in a profession
allied to medicine. This bursary will enable the successful applicant to take
time off from their current work so that they can undertake the MSc Genes,
Environment & Development (GED) programme which will equip them for a
role in research or academia. Ideally, it will suit someone who would like to
become a researcher or use research to enhance their current role.
Encouragement and advice will be given to those who wish to continue their studies and
apply for a PhD
