Applications are now open for fellowships through the Addiction Healthcare Goals flagship research leadership programme.
This programme – funded by the UK Government’s Office for Life Sciences and delivered by the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) – aims to drive innovative responses to addiction to illicit drugs and alcohol.

Clinical fellowships would be suited to people who work in registered professions, such as nurses, midwives, pharmacists, doctors, and dentists.
Academic fellowships include:
- a salary (typically in the range of £35,000 to £50,000), as well as National Insurance contributions, pension, and other employment-related costs
- up to £30,000 for research and training costs across the course of the fellowship
Clinical fellowships include:

- ongoing clinical work for up to 20% of your fellowship
- up to £30,000 for research and training costs across the course of the fellowship
