Our Approach To Research – The Kennedy Trust for Rheumatology Research

Daphne Jackson Fellowships

Daphne Jackson Fellowships are unique. They offer the opportunity to return to a career in research after a break of at least two years for family, caring or health reasons.

Our fellowships enable people to overcome the challenges of returning to a career as a researcher. They ensure that skills, talent, training and career promise are not lost.

We support people through our application process for a fellowship that combines a personalised programme of retraining and mentorship. Our fellows gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed and enable them to generate novel, high-quality research findings.
