Antimicrobial Research Collaborative (ARC) Fellowships The Antimicrobial Research Collaborative (ARC) is a new Imperial network of researchers, primary care specialists and allied health professionals established to advance basic research in Antimicrobial Research (AMR) and to translate research to novel prevention strategies and healthcare interventions. More information can be found on the ARC website [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/arc]. The ARC Early Career Research Fellowships scheme aims to attract and retain the most promising early career scientists to undertake multidisciplinary research projects in AMR within the College. Whilst funding is available to support any research within the remit of AMR, proposals addressing interdisciplinary research in the following strategic priority areas are particularly encouraged: Health Services and Policy; Health Economics; Microbiologyand the Environment. 1-Year Clinical Training Fellowships in Global Health Research - Open We are looking to support outstanding early-career clinical professionals wishing to undertake research, at least in part overseas, to improve the health of people and reduce health inequalities in developed and developing countries. Through the provision of clinical training fellowships in global health, we aim to provide opportunities for the most promising clinical academics, at the very beginning of their careers, to develop bids for independent fellowship funding. We anticipate that each fellow will be supported by two mentors, one based at an Imperial Campus, and one based overseas Value in People - Open VIP awards must be used within the broad aims of assisting Imperial College in the recruitment, career progression and retention of new academic and research staff that are key to the implementation of the university’s strategic objectives in the area of biomedical science. The proposed work must be within the remit of the Wellcome Trust and the applicant must have formally submitted an application for at least 2 years further support to an external funding body. In the academic year 2014-15 we would particularly welcome applications for bridging support (for PDRAs and fellows) and short-term support for non-biologists who wish to experience working the biomedical field. Networks of Excellence - Open The purpose of this scheme is to foster novel, interdisciplinary biomedical research endeavours across the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering, Natural Sciences and the Business School. Therefore the College welcomes proposals which offer greater collaboration across disciplines, departments and/or institutions. Proposals for pilot or feasibility work for high risk projects, to support collaborative cohesion, test or develop new methods, or proof of concept studies are encouraged, rather than standard projects. It is envisaged that the outcomes of this work will form the basis of a major grant application. Whilst funding is available to support any research within the remit of the Wellcome Trust [http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Our-vision/index.htm], proposals addressing interdisciplinary research in Biomedical Engineering, Global Health and Development (including Epidemiology, Prevention and Control) and Infection Research (including Antimicrobial Strategies & Resistance) are particularly encouraged.
