Awards, grants and lectureships

As subscribing members and fellows of the RCP you are entitled to a host of exclusive benefits, including access to our funding and awards opportunities.

We fund fellowships, research grants, prizes, lectureships and bursaries to help support, promote and celebrate research activity. 

Our awards cover a range of specialties and are open to members at varying grades.

While some of our applications and scholarships previously had membership restrictions, please note applicants can now become members on the same day they apply for any of our awards and proceed with their application immediately.

Please note that ‘membership’ includes those who are paying for a subscribing membership. If you are not yet a member of the RCP, you can become one here.
