The organising Committee of the 7th World Congress of Endometriosis through a generous donation established the Endometriosis Millennium Fund, to be administered by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
The object of the fund is to stimulate and encourage research, clinical or laboratory based, in the field of endometriosis, or to encourage clinicians to acquire extra clinical skills to manage patients with the disease.
Up to £5,000 will be available on an annual basis to a Member of the College or a member of the RCOG Trainees Register, resident and working within the British Isles. It will be possible for there to be more than one recipient in any one year, provided the total monies do not exceed the sum available from the Fund for that year. Applications for grants are invited for the following:
- To provide monies to fund a pilot project, clinical or laboratory based in the field of endometriosis, or to provide monies to fund an extension of an existing project researching endometriosis.
Or:
- To provide a contribution towards a travelling Fellowship to attend a recognised training centre, preferably overseas, to obtain surgical training in the management of cases of endometriosis, beyond the skills expected of core training.
The following conditions apply:
- Applications must be accompanied by two references from supervisors or senior colleagues.
- Written confirmation of availability of laboratory space or access for surgical training in the host institution must be provided with the application.
- An undertaking will be given that a structured typewritten report will be provided at the end of the grant period and that the source of grant will be acknowledged in any related publications.
- The award may only be used for the purpose approved by the Assessment Committee.
