What influences the selection process?
The selection panel will be judging the application on its individual merits. For the doctoral scholarship, they will be looking for an applicant with a Master’s degree or equivalent research experience, an interest in the area of skin and tissue breakdown and commitment to completing a PhD. The research proposal should be clearly defined and aim to make an original contribution to research in the field of skin and tissue breakdown. The panel will consider whether the proposal is realistic and achievable within the indicated time frame and costings and whether the methods are appropriate to answer the research question. Consideration will also be given to the merits of the host institution, its track record in the field of skin and tissue breakdown and the support they can provide to enable the successful completion of the research.
