There may be a component of laboratory studies, but applications for predominately laboratory-based work should be directed to the other awards offered by the Society.

The award is designed for candidates at an early stage in their careers, for example (but not confined to) advanced trainees who have completed core clinical training at the time of taking up the scholarship.
