BHF Oxford CRE Transition Research Fellowship Programme 

Next application deadline:  Spring 2025. 
Dates and application guidelines will be added to this web page early in 2025.

The Oxford BHF Centre of Research Excellence (Oxford BHF CRE) awards Intermediate and Senior Transition Fellowships to researchers with either a basic science or clinical background, and an outstanding research track record. 

The aim of the Transition Fellowship programme is to support and develop outstanding postdoctoral researchers to enable them to successfully apply for external funding opportunities, and to foster and develop future leaders in cardiovascular research.  

The expectation is that by the end of their Transition Fellowship award holders will secure a competitive peer-reviewed fellowship, from the BHF or other external funding agency.

We look for individuals who have emerging independence in a field that will add value to the Oxford cardiovascular research programme, and who will become highly competitive young group leaders with funding from external sponsors. 

Funding for Transition Fellowships will be awarded for a two-year duration and will cover the award holder’s salary along with appropriate consumables & travel costs for conference attendance/collaboration placements.

Each research group across the Oxford BHF CRE focuses on different aspects of cardiovascular science. Together they cover the translational research spectrum from basic research through to clinical and population health research.
