Travelling Fellowships

The BORS travelling fellowships are designed for young members of staff, who are embarking on a research career, to visit a laboratory either abroad or in the UK. The express aim of the visit will be to acquire a skill not available to them in their own place of work. In addition applications for funds will now be considered towards the cost of presenting research at prestigious meetings. The maximum amount available per award is £1,000.

Eligibility
UK resident undertaking research with the orthopaedic domain up to the age of 40 years.  The applicant must be a member of the BORS. 

Application
 Applications can be submitted to the administrator at any time for consideration by the Committee and should include: 

a) A curriculum vitae. 
b) An outline of the intended visit including why the applicant considers the application necessary and visit the proposed technique to be studied. A financial statement of the estimated cost and other funding sources should also be submitted. 
c) A letter from a senior member of staff at the host institution indicating that the visit is sanctioned by them and that the necessary work can be achieved within the constraints of the of the application.
