Wolfson Professional Development Grants for Palliative Care Staff
The Wolfson Foundation

The Council for At-Risk Academics (Cara) Fellowships Programme
The Wolfson Foundation
Cara, the Council for At-Risk Academics, describes itself as a lifeline to academics at risk. This listing covers its fellowships programme. People supported by Cara are known as Cara Fellows. The stories on Cara's home page show who the programme is for and what it aims to do. Cara's focus is on displaced academics. Its message is that support should go beyond survival. One recent piece, Rebuilding Lives & Careers After Crisis, looks at how displaced academics can rebuild both their lives and their careers. Another shares the story of a Russian Cara Fellow who had to leave Russia to continue their research. If you are an academic at risk and you are looking towards UK academia, Cara has launched a beginner's guide. It is designed to help at-risk scholars navigate UK academia. Cara Fellows also go on to give back to academic life. A speech by Cara Fellow Dr. Alaa Zam, titled Transforming Disruption into Contribution, explores how fellows can turn the disruption they have lived through into a contribution to their field. The programme suits scholars whose work has been disrupted by crisis and who want to keep their research going. It also suits those who want to rebuild a career, not just find safety. A practical starting point is the beginner's guide. Cara launched it specifically to help at-risk scholars find their way around UK academia. Official source: https://www.cara.ngo/.
