MRC CASE/DTP 2021/22
MRC industrial Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering (CASE) and Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs)
Application process now closed for this round.
The MRC Industrial Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering (CASE) and Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) programme offers fully-funded PhD studentships to exceptional candidates to work within active research groups to develop and deliver projects aligned to MRC skill priority areas.
The programme is usually offered on a 1+3 basis: a one-year full-time Master of Research (MRes) in Global Health: Translational and Quantitative Skills taught at Lancaster University followed by a 3-year full-time PhD programme at LSTM.
Objectives and Programme Structure
The programme allows extremely bright, enthusiastic individuals with outstanding track records from diverse academic backgrounds (e.g. medicinal chemists, molecular biologists, parasitologists, entomologists, pharmacologists, clinicians, mathematicians, economists, social and management scientists) to hone their research ideas, interests, and skills and to generate PhD work plans and output that is highly impactful.
Research Project Selection
As part of the application process, you must select at least one project in order to progress your application as an expression of your area of interest.
Successful applicants will not be required to confirm their project selection until part-way through the year 1, and will have scope to develop projects with potential supervisors during the MRes component of the programme.
