Our Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDA) allow you to contribute to the development of a research project that has already been outlined by a team of established researchers within our consortium and partner organisations.
Each CDA includes provision for specific skills training to support the research to be undertaken, and also for employability enhancement opportunities within and beyond academia.
Your research proposal should explain the direction you propose to take the project, the expertise you bring to the project, and the particular career development opportunities you are most interested in capitalising upon.
Application date
