Applications are now open for PhD studentship from the MRC TMRP DTP. A list of potential projects and the application form is available online. Find out more about the Outcomes for Pressure Ulcer Trials (OUTPUTs): development of outcome measurement instruments for core domain outcomes

Please note. Studentships are funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) for 3 years. Funding will cover tuition fees at the UK rate only, a Research Training and Support Grant (RTSG) and stipend. We aim to support the most outstanding applicants from outside the UK and are able to offer a limited number of bursaries that will enable full studentships to be awarded to international applicants. These full studentships will only be awarded to exceptional quality candidates, due to the competitive nature of this scheme.
