NIHR Clinical Trials Fellowships (CT Fellowships) are designed to support existing NIHR Trainees with an interest in, and experience of, working with clinical trials as part of their current training award who would benefit from further training within the setting of a Clinical Trials Unit.

The fellowship will include a 6 month (FTE) comprehensive training programme, covering all aspects of clinical trials from design through to conduct, analysis and reporting. The exact training programme will be tailored dependent on the needs of the individual and will include training delivered by senior members of the various CTRC sections (Trial Management, Statistics, Data Management, Information Systems, Health Economics (in collaboration with the Centre for Health Economics & Medicines Evaluation) and Quality Assurance) together with external training as appropriate. The CTRC portfolio of studies is large and includes CTIMP, Device and non-CTIMP studies both UK based and international. Within the CTRC there will be opportunity for fellows to gain experience across a number of trials differing in study design and stage of completion.

The CTRC has been successful in gaining two awards in round 1 of the CT Fellowships.

If you are interested in applying for a future round of the CT fellowships and would like to discuss this further with the CTRC please contact:
