Tata Trusts
The Trustees of the Lady Tata Memorial Trust invite applications for Awards for personal support for research on leukaemia.
Established by Sir Dorabji Tata in 1932 in memory of his wife, Lady Meherbai, who died of leukaemia in 1930, the Trust spends four-fifths of its income on international research, with the help of an International Advisory Committee, based in London, which invites applications for awards for support for research in leukaemia worldwide.
Awards are restricted to studies of the leukaemogenic agents, the epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunology and genetic basis of leukaemia. Applications not directly related to the field of leukaemia will not be considered. One grant of a studentship for a student entering an M Phil/PhD programme is available.
Awards are usually tenable for one year in the first instance. Awards for two years may be given if this is considered by the Trust to be in the best interests of a particular project. An M Phil/PhD studentship will normally be granted for two years. Renewal for a third year on the strength of eighteen-month progress reports will only be considered for studentships.
