Encephalitis is an often devastating disease of brain inflammation which can be due to infectious, autoimmune, or yet undefined causes.
The Encephalitis Society is dedicated to driving forward support, awareness, and research across the translational spectrum, from basic science and disease modelling, through to epidemiological, clinical descriptive, and outcomes-based investigations.
The Medical Research Council collaborates with Encephalitis International to offer a jointly funded clinical research training fellowship. Encephalitis International will support one clinical research training fellowship to undertake UK-based research that contributes to improving the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and, or rehabilitation of patients.

The application process and closing date for jointly funded clinical research training fellowships is the same as the standard competition for clinical research training fellowships (CRTF).
To apply for joint funding, you must indicate this in the joint funders section of your application. Joint funding does not alter the assessment process. We will offer all jointly funded fellowships under standard MRC terms and conditions, except where the co-funder has specified extra terms and conditions. If you apply for a jointly funded fellowship which is not available for any reason, we will automatically consider you for a standard MRC fellowship instead.
