Join NIHR Research Support Service Specialist Centre for Public Health to find out more about Local Authority Academic Fellowships.
The NIHR Local Authority Academic Fellowship (LAAF) programme offers a range of fully funded schemes and short placement awards to support individuals based within English Local Authority settings to develop as health and/or social care researchers whilst retaining their existing employment and salary. This new initiative provides exciting opportunities for a wide range of individuals.
The training opportunities include four schemes:
Local Authority Short Placement Award for Research Collaboration (LA SPARC) Scheme
LAAF Programme Pre-Doctoral Local Authority Fellowship (PLAF) Scheme
LAAF Programme Doctoral Local Authority Fellowship (DLAF) Scheme
LAAF Programme Advanced Local Authority Fellowship (ALAF) Scheme
There will be a dedicated Q&A session during the webinar. Please note that the panel will be unable to answer any questions about individual eligibility such as your employment status or existing qualifications – please refer to the guidance on the NIHR website or contact the Academy: academy-awards@nihr.ac.uk.
