The Sir Robert Boyd Fellowship will be awarded to an excellent early career researcher working in bio-medicine/health research. We have a special interest in diseases of older people; by the terms of the Trust endowment we do not fund research exclusively focused on children. The primary aim of the Fellowship is to support junior researchers in the transition to independent scientist. A Boyd Fellowship will be awarded approximately every 3 years.

The award will be made in instalments at the beginning of each year. Boyd Fellows and their sponsors will each be expected to submit a short annual report on progress of their training and project following the template set out in Terms and Conditions; the following year’s instalment of the grant will be dependent on a satisfactory annual report. At the end of the award period, Fellows will be expected to submit a final report and meet with the Trustees to discuss the outcomes of the award.
