PhD plus awards are intended to extend a 3-year PhD into a 4-year studentship. The aim of these awards is to allow students who have already made outstanding progress to carry out additional studies that will greatly add to the value of their research and potentially result in high-quality papers or further funding. Funding is for 9-12 months.

Applicants must be either Rosetrees-funded PhD students or work in a Rosetrees-funded laboratory and have begun the final year of their PhD. Students who have already submitted their PhD thesis are not eligible to apply.  Applicants will need to provide an application form, CVs of the student and supervisor and a supporting document outlining the case for PhD Plus funding.
