FOI2020/00313: Pre/Post Doctoral Candidates
Case reference FOI2020/00313

Request
Request Received: 22 September 2020
Following on from our correspondence last year, I was wondering if we could get one further piece of information from you as we are nearly ready to publish our results. You stated that as of 01/01/2019, there were 125 active clinical research training fellowships, of whom 14 were surgeons. Looking at your website such positions could be held by both pre- or post-doctoral candidates.
Do you have the breakdown of the number of these candidates were pre-doctoral, and the number that were post-doctoral as we are analysing fellowships by seniority.
