We are committed to supporting the development of outstanding early career researchers wishing to conduct applied research that has the potential to deliver an impact on patients, public and policy regionally and nationally.
PhDs at the ARC East of England
We provided dedicated funding for PhD studentships within each of our research themes. Their research questions and programmes of work were aligned with the aims of the relevant theme, and in some cases, they spanned multiple themes where synergies were identified.
PhD students were based at our partner Universities, including the University of Cambridge, University of East Anglia, University of Essex and University of Hertfordshire.
