The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine invites applications for its international centre travel grants. These enable researchers to visit international research centres in order to undertake work related to physics and engineering applied to medicine and biology. The aim is to bring back relevant expertise to the UK and establish research collaborations.

Applicants must be full members or fellows of the institute for at least a year prior to submitting a grant application.

Two grants worth up to 拢3,000 each are available towards travel and accommodation costs.

The Leverhulme Trust invites applications for its emeritus fellowships. These enable retired senior researchers to complete a research project and to prepare the results for publication. Research on any subject area may be funded, with the exception of studies of disease, illness and disabilities in humans and animals, or research that is intended to inform clinical practice or the development of medical applications.

Applicants must be resident in the UK and should hold, or have held, a teaching or research post at a university or comparable institution in the UK at the time of retirement. They should have retired by the time of taking up the fellowship and no longer have a normal contract of employment. Applicants may however hold a part-time position.

Each fellowship is worth up to 拢22,000 for a period between three and 24 months. Eligible costs include the following: travel and subsistence costs for periods away from home; the employment of a research, clerical or secretarial assistant to support the work of the applicant; photocopies; photographic expenses; office or laboratory consumables.

The Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 invites applications for its industrial fellowships. These encourage profitable innovation and creativity in British industry by supporting graduates with the potential to make contributions to a programme of doctoral level research.

Applicants should have a first level degree in engineering, science or medicine, and normally be within five years of degree graduation. They should have identified research or a development topic leading to a patent, product or process in conjunction with a higher academic award, usually a PhD or EngD. Applicants should be either employed or sponsored in the UK by a British-based company. Employed applicants should be able to demonstrate an established link between their employing company and appropriate staff at a UK university; doctoral applicants should be in the first or second year of a UK university-based doctoral programme strongly tied to industry.

Fellowships are tenable for three years, renewable annually. Approximately 10 fellowships are available annually, including an ERA Foundation fellowship for the electro-technology sector. For employed fellows, the commission provides 50 per cent of their salary, up to a limit of 拢25,000 per year, and university fees paid up to normal UK-student levels. For doctoral fellows, there is an enhancement to the existing stipend of 拢2,000 per year and a possible additional 拢15,000 to support the research project. All fellows will receive up to 拢3,500 per year to cover travel costs. In addition, the university research department will be paid an honorarium of 拢10,000 on completion.
