BMFMS 2011 Bursaries
Since its inception the BMFMS has aimed to improve standards in pregnancy care across professional boundaries. With these goals in mind the BMFMS Executive Committee are therefore delighted to announce that application forms for this year’s bursaries are now available. Successful bursary applications will now be recognized by the NIHR.
Bursaries are available to BMFMS members of all professions and seniority. All applications will be considered on merit and will be awarded in two different categories:
1. Research/Audit bursaries:
These are designed to help ‘pump prime’ pilot research projects, to set-up a local/national database etc. These awards will be up to a maximum value of £5000.
Please note the following;
The applicant must be a member of the BMFMS at the time of application.
If the bursary is to be used in conjunction with other funds, proof of the existence of such funds are needed before the bursary application can be considered.
Bursary applications for non-clinician scientists are welcomed.
