Two researchers talking to one another

Supporting our members

If you are in receipt of a Health and Care Research Wales personal award, you automatically become a Faculty Member.

Being a Faculty member provides you dedicated support throughout your personal award. These will include opportunities such as:

  • Faculty mentorship scheme
  • Individualised training and development
  • Networking and events

Faculty personal awards: 

  • Research Training Award
  • Emerging Researcher Award
  • Advancing Researcher Award
  • Personal Award Accelerator
  • Trials Development Award
  • Doctoral Fellowship
  • Advanced Fellowship
  • Next Steps Award
  • Senior Research Leaders

Alumni and Associate Membership

Alumni membership is open to those who have recently completed their personal award. 

Current personal award holders will move into alumni status once their personal award has been completed.

Alumni membership allows the alumni members to continue to have access to many of the training and development opportunities the Faculty offers.

We are extending the membership scheme to allow individuals who are successful in UK-wide personal fellowship schemes and early career researchers receiving funding from the Health and Care Research Wales project grant schemes or other Welsh government supported competitive funding schemes to apply for Associate Membership.

This will allow you to access many of the same opportunities as the members wherever possible, but more importantly will help to develop a network of peers who are at different stages of developing a research career.

Should you wish to apply for Associate Membership please complete the short online form.
