These Fellowships are for BDIAP members and BDIAP Schools applicants only, particularly those at Foundation and Specialty Trainee Level (or equivalent in their home country) and are intended to allow members to undertake research and other investigative activities such as audits that should be submitted as abstracts in the early Spring of 2020 for the Glasgow 2020 meeting to be held in December.
The maximum value of any one Fellowship is £2,500 but applications for smaller amounts will also be considered.
Applications must be made by Wednesday 31 July 2019 to allow a sufficient lead time to undertake the research or investigation. Applicants are requested to submit their proposals 6 weeks before the start date to allow time for the Educational Subcommittee to assess the application.
Additional Travel Bursaries will be made available for attendance at Glasgow 2020. Preference will be given to those who have previously been awarded such a Fellowship in advance of the meeting. Others who have submitted abstracts accepted for presentation at Glasgow 2020 (oral, poster or e-poster) will also be considered.

Council of the BDIAP will support up to 20 such fellowships before the Glasgow meeting.

- After its award, a Fellowship must be taken up within the following twelve months, at the latest before the date of submission of abstracts for the Glasgow 2020 meeting.
