Sir Hugh Linstead fellowship

One or more awards made annually to a total value of £45,000 funded by a grant from the Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust in order to support research relating to community pharmacy.

  

Sir Hugh Linstead fellowship Application Form

 

All applicants must be a registered member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (those currently undertaking preregistration training will be considered but will need to have joined the register before receiving funding). As the purpose of the awards is to build research capacity in pharmacy practice the following groups have been identified:

  • those requiring funding between PhD and post doctoral grants
  • those requiring funding to go from MPhil to PhD
  • practitioners new to research
  • PhD students requiring 'research costs' to enhance their PhDs

The awards can also be used to fund new areas of research, e.g. pre-pilot and feasibility studies that would not be considered by other funding bodies.

Please note that the Sir Hugh Linstead Fellowship funding has to be used for research that is of benefit to community pharmacy or the applicant must be a community pharmacist due to the source of funding.
