The Colt Foundation PhD Fellowship
The Colt Foundation PhD Fellowship
The Colt Foundation is interested in high quality research projects in the field of occupational and environmental health, particularly those aimed at discovering the causes of illnesses arising from conditions in the workplace.
The Foundation also makes grants each year to PhD students whose subject is relevant to this field of research. The grant is normally for three years, and the stipend rate for the first year is £15,285 rising with inflation for the following two years. Payments will include UK/EU fees and overseas students applying would be expected to meet the difference in UK/EU and International Rates. A sum towards research expenses will also be available.
Please see PhD Fellowships - The Colt Foundation for more deatils.

How to apply
Applications should be submitted by prospective students, and not by their supervisors, although it is expected that the supervisor(s) will have had input to ensure that the project can lead to a successful PhD. We do not have an application form, but we ask that applications include:
- An outline of the proposed research, including the scientific questions that it will address, the data that will be collected, and how they will be analysed to answer the study questions.
- The applicant’s CV.
- A detailed letter of support from the proposed supervisor.
- Contact details of two referees.
Applications should be submitted to the Foundation’s Director, Mrs Tash Heydon by email (tash@coltfoundation.org.uk) or by post. Fellowships are awarded in competition. After initial short-listing, a subset of applicants is invited to interview in London, on the basis of which, the final selection is made. Information about deadlines for submission of applications and dates of interviews can be found in our Diary of events and deadlines.
