The Committee meets three times per session to consider applications from members. It is a competitive process. Following on-line submission applications are reviewed and short-listed applicants invited for interview.
Attendance at interview is essential.
Dates of the interview will be made available in advance of the application deadline.
Interviewed applicants will be informed by email of the Committee’s decision within 5 working days of the meeting.
As of 1st September 2009 members are only permitted to receive a maximum of two awards from the Travel and Study Fund. Members may wish to take this into consideration when applying for projects during the early years of medical school. Members who have received previous awards prior to 1st September 2009 are permitted to receive 1 further award. There is no limit to the number applications which may be made by unsuccessful applicants.
In exceptional circumstances, members may be considered if they fall outwith the application deadlines or if applying for a third/subsequent award. If you wish to be considered in this category you need to write to the chairman of the committee with a full project outline and a statement in support of your application explaining why you merit consideration. This can be organised by contacting the Permanent Secretary, Elizabeth Singh.
