The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh disburses a number of grants each year to fund research and education for our members and fellows. Grant awardees are selected through open applications, which are scored by a panel of specialist academics and clinicians, and ratified by the Research Committee. Grants provide seed funding for new research, funding for medical projects outside of research (e.g., digital education resource projects), and support educational development. Depending on the grant, funds may be disbursed to a host institution, similarly to a research fellowship, or to the individual awardee.
