Eligibility

Per the BHF eligibility criteria, applicants for Research Professorships must:

  • Be a senior investigator (i.e. hold the title of full Professor) in clinical or basic cardiovascular science, with an established reputation as an international leader in their research field
  • Have a substantial output of high impact research on a sustained trajectory.
  • Hold a tenured position (defined in this case as a permanent contract) with their host institution. If you do not hold a permanent contract at the time of submitting your internal EOI you can still apply and be nominated to the BHF, but the Department must have offered a permanent contract by the time of submitting a preliminary application.
  • Have a track record of attracting significant peer-reviewed research grant income as principal investigator, including current, substantial and long-term funding (i.e. programmatic level grant funding from the BHF or other funders). The volume of funding should be at least 3 years of programme grant-level funding in place at the time of initial application to BHF. Renewal at the 5-year point will also depend on such funding being in place at the time of renewal.
