The Edinburgh Scientific Academic Track (ESAT), established by the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, recruits and mentors future scientific leaders.
The main objective of the ESAT scheme is to attract promising young scientists to the University of Edinburgh and enable them to transition to fully independent research leaders by providing start-up funding, world class facilities and appropriate mentoring. The programme has already resulted in some noticeable success stories.
The following list of potential funding opportunities is not exhaustive and researchers are urged to be proactive in consulting other funding information sources and in seeking advice from senior research colleagues and research support staff.
These useful links point to places where ESAT Fellows and others at the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine might find research support, information and guidance.
