The National Institute of Health & Care Research (NIHR) has awarded UCL 49 clinical academic training fellowships for medics and dentists to train as clinical academics, alongside NHS partners. The investment totals nearly £13million over the next two years (2024-2025) and will help support the development and delivery of UCL's Integrated Academic Training (IAT) Programme. UCL has one of the largest cohorts of NIHR clinical academic trainees in the UK and the new award places the university as one of the leaders in the country - receiving the highest amount of any university in the latest round of the NIHR's national programme. It is hoped that the award will strengthen UCL's commitment to enhancing the lives of people and addressing some of the world's most pressing health challenges alongside clinical partners, including University College London Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, Great Ormond Street Hospital Trust, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Camden and Islington NHS Trust. The award includes 29 Academic Clinical Fellowships (ACFs) and 17 Clinical Lectureships (CLs) for medical research across multiple clinical specialities. There are a further 2 AFCs and 1CL for dental researchers.
