MIMS Clinical Research Fellows
In order to strengthen the clinical research and more closely incorporate preclinical and clinical research locally and nationally, MIMS decided in 2009 to initiate a program for Clinical Fellows. MIMS awards Clinical Research Fellowships to clinicians with a recent PhD and a strong research background.
Patient care in hospital.
The award comes with up to 12-month research time for the fellow and two years of a postdoctoral researcher to work in collaboration with a MIMS PI, or a PI at another Nordic Partnership node or EMBL, plus support for consumables. This meaningful link between clinical projects and basic research conducted at MIMS or its partners has proven to be successful for covering all translational aspects from bench to bedside. Every medical faculty in Sweden has been represented in the MIMS Clinical Research Fellowship Programme.
Since the establishment of the fellowship programme in 2009, MIMS has awarded 13 research fellowships to clinicians at university hospitals across Sweden.
Close to 80 research papers published by active MIMS Clinical Research Fellows during 2019-2024.
We will soon announce the award recipients of the MIMS Clinical Research Fellowship from the 2024 call.
MIMS Clinical Research Fellowships Call 2025 is open! See all details and how to apply here.
