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.

Review process
All grants will be initially assessed by our internal scientific committee to confirm eligibility, adherence to application stipulations and that they fall within our scientific remit. Applications will then be assessed by a scientific panel and scored based on the scientific quality of the application, the progress of the student to date and the likelihood of further project development.
