About this scholarship
A Wellcome doctoral programme for health care professionals to undertake a PhD using digital tools, data science and artificial intelligence to address questions in health and care, with a bootcamp stage before the written fellowship application.
Minimum requirements
Health care professional proposing a PhD that uses digital tools, data science or artificial intelligence to address an important question in health and care; bootcamp application requires a CV, evidence of 10 hours of introductory AI learning, and a one-page outline of the proposed PhD question, rationale, aims and objectives
Application checklist
- Bootcamp application by 16 November 2026: CV, evidence of 10 hours of introductory AI learning, one-page PhD question outline (question, rationale, aims, objectives)
- Written fellowship application by 17 March 2027 if progressing from the bootcamp stage
- Check the ENHANCE site for eligibility and reference requirements
Application tips
- Do not wait for March: the entry point is the bootcamp application on 16 November 2026, and the written fellowship deadline of 17 March 2027 comes later.
- Complete the 10 hours of introductory AI learning before applying — evidence of it is a required bootcamp item.
- Keep the PhD outline to one page and make the health-and-care question, not the technology, the lead.
- Confirm fees and stipend terms from the ENHANCE advert before quoting them; the funding table lists the programme as Open but does not itemise the award.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
