About

The Colt Foundation is a UK-based charitable organization established in 1978 that funds high-quality research in the field of occupational and environmental health, particularly research aimed at discovering the causes of illnesses arising from conditions at the workplace. The Foundation pursues its aims through project grants, supporting students undertaking higher degrees at UK universities in subjects related to occupational and environmental health, organizing scientific conferences, and providing supportive funding for collaborative infrastructure to advance work and health research. The Trustees are particularly keen to support work likely to influence legislation, public policy, or working practices to improve the health of workers and the wider population.

Funding Opportunities

Colt Foundation PhD Fellowships

The Colt Foundation awards up to four PhD Fellowships each year to enable holders to study for a PhD in occupational or environmental health at a UK university. The Fellowships are normally for three years, but the Foundation will consider applications for awards over shorter periods from applicants who have already started a PhD but do not have full funding from other sources to complete their degree. The Foundation selects Fellows based on the academic track record of the applicant, the quality of the research project, and the training environment including supervisor commitment. The Foundation is particularly keen to support individuals with potential to become future research leaders in occupational and environmental health. International students are welcome to apply, though they must cover the difference between UK/home and international fees themselves. The Fellowship provides three elements of funding: a stipend, up to £5,000 per year towards research expenses, and full fees for UK students.
