EPSRC DTP training grants provided investments in doctoral training, including studentships, vacation internships and Doctoral Prize fellowships. Funding to support DTP studentships is allocated via Faculties. Information can be found on the vacation internships webpage and Doctoral Prize fellowships below.

This scheme is no longer running but was intended to attract and retain the very best newly qualified PhDs who received EPSRC studentship funding and help them to launch a career in research. Fellowships must be within EPSRC remit.
Studentship extensions for students whose research has been impacted by Covid-19 are no longer available via the UKRI training grant extension scheme. This is in line with UKRIs expectation of training grant holders and with UKRIs requirement that training grant funding is balanced between supporting extensions for those in greatest need with maintaining the quality of the student experience and support for future students.
The Student Support Fund remains available for students who find themselves in financial hardship. In addition, departments may have further guidance and sources of support for students to explore.
