Blood Cancer UK returns to offering fellowships after a pandemic-induced break

Top tips

  • All bids must excel on three elements: the research project, the team and the training.
  • Patient assessment of bids is an important step in the process.
  • Engage with patients and the public as early as possible.
  • Seek to collaborate and consult with specialists in your field.
  • Take care over the statistical elements of your bid.

Blood Cancer UK changed its name from Bloodwise in 2020. Around that time, because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the charity paused new calls for its fellowship schemes. This year, that support is returning in the shape of Early Career Advancement Fellowships, which offer a maximum of £350,000 for projects lasting up to three years (or five years part time).
