Clinical Endocrinology Journal Foundation Research Grant

The Society is administering research grants on behalf of the Clinical Endocrinology Journal Foundation (CEJF).

There will be a call for applications once a year. The current deadline is Wednesday 22 May 2024.

Applications should relate to an area of clinical endocrinology and should focus on a clinical quality improvement activity or clinical audit. Preferred applications would be multi-centred studies with a defined clinical outcome. If the application will form part of a larger study, the relationship should be explained and evidence that funding for the larger study is already in place should be provided.

It is expected that any work will be completed within 24 months of the award, unless an extension has been granted.

Funding requests may include salaries, equipment, assays or other consumables and travel costs where they are part of the research project. Funding is not available for travel to present findings at meetings or otherwise disseminate the results of the study. Departmental overheads are not available as the CEJF is a charity.

All successful awardees will be expected to submit a relevant clinical review to Clinical Endocrinology.

Eligibility

The CEJF Research Grant is open to Society for Endocrinology members who are UK-based only. Primary applicants should have been a Society member for at least one year prior to the grant deadline or for 6 months for an Early Career member. Applications could be from clinically orientated research staff at any grade.

Applications should include a letter of support from the sponsor institution (Academic or NHS) and this may involve the Research and Development (R&D) Department.

If needed for the project, proof of ethics committee approval will be required before a grant is finally awarded. Such approval can be pending at the time of application.

How to apply

Please view the guidance for applicants for further information, including indicative values for grants, and submit completed applications forms as Word documents to [email protected] by the appropriate deadline.

All grants are highly competitive and so applicants are encouraged to read the guidance carefully in
advance, to be specific and detailed when answering questions on the application form and to seek advice
and feedback from colleagues before submitting the final application.
Successful grant awardees will be required to submit a report and details of the timeline will be provided in
the award letter. There may be additional expectations of outcomes from the applicants as detailed in each grant type.
