The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) and Newlife the Charity for Disabled Children have joined forces to offer talented post- doctorial researchers the opportunity to compete for a pioneering three-year fellowship award.

The partnership, launched earlier this week at RCPCH’s annual conference in Birmingham, will enable the chosen recipient to have a real impact on the lives and health of children with disabilities across the UK.

Newlife, which has been investing in medical research for more than 10 years, will contribute £135,000 with RCPCH providing match funding. The successful researcher will receive a fellowship grant to the value of £250,000 to advance paediatric research in the field of childhood disability, while supporting them to progress their own career.

Sheila Brown OBE, CEO of Newlife, said: “We are delighted to work with such a prestigious organisation on this ground-breaking project and hope other charities follow our lead.”

Jo Revill, CEO of RCPCH, said: “Investing in paediatric research is vital if we’re to continue to improve the health and wellbeing of children.”
