LTMT International Awards
The Lady Tata Memorial Trust was established by Sir Dorabji Tata in April 1932 in memory of his wife, Lady Meherbai, who was struck with leukaemia in 1930 at the age of 50, and succumbed to the disease a year later in Wales, when she passed away on 18th June 1931.
The Trust spends four-fifths of its income on international research, and an International Scientific Advisory Committee, based in London, invites applications for Awards for individual support for research on leukaemia worldwide through advertisement and on the trust’s website.
Awards are restricted to studies of leukaemogenic agents, and the epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunology and genetic basis of leukaemia and related diseases. Applications not directly related to the field of leukaemia are not considered.
These awards are open to suitably qualified investigators of any nationality. Priority is given to those intending to move to other centres with a view to establishing scientific collaboration between laboratories. The academic year for these awards is October-September.
Who Can Apply?
These awards are open to suitably qualified investigators of any nationality. Priority is given to those intending to move to other centres with a view to establishing scientific collaboration between laboratories. The academic year for these awards is October-September.
Applicants more than 6 years post PhD are unlikely to be funded and if they do apply they should strongly justify why. Applications should be made by the individual to be funded, not the PI of the host lab.
Scholarship Amount
Awards are for a maximum of £35,000, and tenable for one year. Subsequent applications for a second year of funding will not be accepted.
How To Apply?
From the academic year 2012-2013, all applications will only be accepted online. Every applicant must register himself/herself before applying online. After the applicant completes the registration form, an email notification will be sent to him/her with the email body containing a link for the activation of account. Please note that the registration process will be completed only after the user clicks on the link in the email.
