The call is open for new Trinity Research Doctorate Awards 2025-26

Eligibility criteria

Staff member appointed in or since the academic year 2021/22 and eligible to act as principal supervisor for a research doctorate student under current Calendar regulations. Recruit new entrants to the full-time research doctorate register (EU and nonEU) in the academic year 2025-26 (September / March register). The student must register for a full-time research doctorate degree at Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin. Both the doctorate researcher and supervisor(s) will agree to participate in the Trinity’s Supervisor - Research Student Agreement. The TRDA cannot continue beyond a fourth year on the full-time research doctorate register and cannot be split across doctorate researchers. The successful PIs will not be in receipt of any other Trinity Research Doctorate Award allocated in 2025-26. Co-supervision is encouraged, and in line with College regulations, a Thesis Committee will be required to be put in place for all students. Awards will be made on a competitive basis and continuation of funding is contingent on satisfactory student progress, which must be reviewed and reported annually. The allocation of the awards across the two categories is subject to the final decision of the Evaluation Panel.
