Wellcome Trust Research Bursaries
Last year the
Wellcome Trust announced details of a new research bursary scheme; available
for small and medium-scale research projects based on library or archive collections
supported by a previous Wellcome Trust Research Resources Grant
This is good
news for researchers wanting to make use of our archive collections, and the
majority of these were catalogued with Wellcome funding and so are eligible for
Research Bursary applications.
You can view a
list of all the Heritage Centre’s archive collections here, and all but four of
the collections are eligible for applications. The eligible collections include
RCPI’s own extensive archive, the records of fours hospital, half a dozen
medical organisation and the personal papers of eight medics, including Dr
Kathleen Lynn to Dr Thomas Percy Claude Kirkpatrick.
