Faculty of Occupational Medicine

Key takeaways

The annual report, register entry and website publish no general application process and no grant range, so a grant writer should contact the charity first to ask whether a request fits its work.
The only published award is the Peter Taylor Award, which closes by 30 May and is open only to residents or former trainees in occupational medicine, physicians working towards MFOM, and physicians who achieved MFOM within two years of the closing date.
An applicant needs to submit the work to be considered, a statement of their contribution and that of any co-investigators, and a 250-word abstract.
Organisations without people in those categories should not apply for that award, and the annual report and website give no basis for judging how competitive any approach would be.
