Colt Foundation Fellowships

The Colt Foundation awards PhD Fellowships each year to persons who are qualified in science or medicine who are carrying out research within the area of occupational and environmental health at a UK university. The PhD Fellowship is normally for three years (FTE) and includes a stipend and UK/home fees. In recent years, grants have been made for research projects covering diverse topics including mental health in healthcare settings, silica-induced lung disease, occupational respiratory disease, radiation exposure effects, nanomaterial health impacts, workplace mental health interventions, and cardiovascular risks from ionizing radiation. Applications should include an outline of the proposed research with scientific questions, data collection and analysis methods, the applicant's CV, a detailed letter of support from the proposed supervisor, and contact details of two referees.
