"I have found the fellowship an excellent experience allowing me to gain the knowledge of how to organise and apply for national grants. It is a world that I would never be exposed to otherwise and that would have made any chance of success less likely"
Professor Adrian Garner, Consultant Spinal Surgeon, The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham
"My CRN West Midlands Research Scholar funding support has provided me with time to develop as a future research leader, work up research and personal leadership training grants and build international research experience and collaborations. As an early-career allied health researcher opportunities such as this are crucial in bridging the gap between early post-doctoral research and being research funding independent."
Dr Jonathan Quicke, Academic Clinical Lecturer in Physiotherapy & Haywood Foundation Activity Coordinator
