Releasing Potential: A series of one-day workshops!

PCAF & PLAF Application

This workshop will look closely at what is required to make a competitive application to the Pre-doctoral Clinical Academic Fellowship (PCAF) and/or Pre-doctoral Local Authority Fellowship (PLAF). The programmes enable health and social care clinicians and practitioners (excluding doctors and dentists) to begin to develop their research careers. During the workshop there will be inputs from the NIHR PCAF Scheme Manager, member of the PCAF Selection Panel, and current and previous PCAF and PLAF award holders.

The workshop will explore:

· The PCAF & PLAF scheme in the context of the broader NIHR Fellowship programme

· What makes a good application; common pitfalls, detail of what NIHR is looking for in applications with some ‘top tips’. Current and previous award holders will give delegates an idea of what to expect from the scheme, how they managed the application process and their own personal journeys.

· The timing of applications and the application process.

This workshop is aimed at those who intend to submit an application for a PCAF or PLAF or wish to benchmark themselves in terms of readiness for submitting an application.
