WHO should apply?
This scheme is open to individuals resident on the island of Ireland working in the health and social care area as health practitioners, researchers or policy makers. As intensive and continuous training will be provided as part of the Fellowship, applications are invited from those with no prior experience or training in conducting systematic reviews.
Details:
The Cochrane Collaboration is a not-for-profit and independent organisation dedicated to making up-to-date, accurate information about the effects of healthcare interventions readily available worldwide. It produces and disseminates systematic reviews of healthcare interventions in over fifty topic areas and makes them available as The Cochrane Library (www.thecochranelibrary.com). In 2002, Ireland became the first country in the world to provide free national access to the Cochrane Library, an initiative co-funded by the Health Research Board (HRB) and the Research and Development Office in Northern Ireland.
The aim of the Cochrane Fellowships scheme is to build capacity in conducting systematic reviews in the health and social care field in Ireland by freeing up protected time for applicants to conduct a Cochrane systematic review in any topic of their choice.
WHAT does the Fellowship include?
The Fellowship provides the Fellow with protected time of up to two days per week for up to two years to conduct their review. The award covers systematic review training costs, salary-related costs and research expenses.
HOW many Fellowships will be awarded?
It is envisaged that at least four Fellowships will be awarded on the island of Ireland in 2010 (dependent on volume and quality of applications and the availibility of funding).
