Clinical Academic Training
Specialised Foundation Programme – SFP projects
At the University of Leicester, Specialised Foundation research (SFP) trainees are able to choose the research which they undertake in their second year which will fall within the research interests of the College of Life Sciences. The University offers opportunities to undertake research projects spanning the basic sciences through to clinical translational research, in a wide range of clinical specialties.
If a University substantive Academic or Honorary Academic with whom you wish to work is not identified on the available supervisors list and they are agreeable to hosting you, you are required to forward the project proposal, agreed with your proposed supervisor to catenquiries@le.ac.uk for approval by the Clinical Academic Training Programme.
We ask that all SFP1 doctors contact potential research supervisors, and agree their supervisor and project no later than 30 June prior to commencing SFP2 in August. Once agreed the SFP must advise catenquiries@le.ac.uk who their supervisor will be and which project they plan to undertake in order that any required departmental access cn be facilitated.
