Training for early career researchers in establishing themselves as independent researchers in the field of translational biomedical research
Our training offer, helping people to realise their potential and achieve their goals, is an important part of what we do. By offering support, mentoring and resources to our research community, we are helping to develop translational research careers across our five core themes, ensuring that our research benefits the people and communities we serve.
Our Translational Fellowships are designed to support our strongest early to mid-career scientists to become independent researchers, working with local NHS Trusts and commercial partners to maximise the benefits of scientific discoveries to patients and people. We support fellows to prepare prestigious external fellowship applications, building their careers in translational biomedical research while working in diverse research environments with world-leading academics and access to state of the art facilities.
Fellows have access to a training programme specific to their needs with wrap-around support and mentorship alongside access to our leading research development support, leadership training, development through the NIHR Academy and our University infrastructure and the opportunity to work with local NHS Trusts and commercial partners.
We are delighted to have already recruited our first cohort of exceptionally talented Translational Fellows who will be working on dedicated research projects.

My fellowship gives me protected time to focus on my research projects and develop as an early-career researcher in an area with a critical need for rigorous research and capacity. It opens up the possibility of working with collaborators in and outside of Exeter BRC and to be part of the NIHR Academy which is an excellent platform for training and networking with other early-career researchers.
