PhD plus awards are intended to extend and develop research carried out during a PhD studentship.  The aim of these awards is to allow students who have submitted their thesis to carry out further research necessary for high-impact publications or major grant awards. Funding is for 9-12 months post PhD submission.

Funding can also be allocated for students who have competed 36 months of the PhD and intend to stay an extra 9-12 months and submit their thesis within 48 months. In this instance funding will only be allocated if the PhD student’s stipend is no longer covered by their university. We will cover stipend (up to £1600pcm and consumables up to £600 pcm).

Applicants must be PhD students in a Rosetrees-funded laboratory and have begun the final year of their PhD. Applicants will need to provide an application form, CVs of the student and supervisor and a supporting document outlining the case for PhD Plus funding.
