Wellcome Trust Career Trackers

Here you can find out about our Basic Science Career Tracker and Clinical Career Tracker. The Trackers consist of an annual online survey to help us to follow the career paths and understand the career choices of Wellcome Trust-funded researchers.

We would like to thank all of the researchers who have taken part in the surveys. As an organisation whose key focus is to support individual researchers in achieving their potential and delivering great science, we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't know what those we fund do next.

Basic Science Career Tracker

The Basic Science Career Tracker follows the career paths of a selection of Trust-funded basic science researchers.

Clinical Career Tracker

The Clinical Career Tracker follows the career paths of a selection of Trust-funded clinical fellows.

Who we’re tracking

The Wellcome Trust case study series presents real examples of the career paths of former and current basic science Wellcome Trust-funded researchers.

Data Trees

This Wellcome Trust 'Data Tree' illustrates a breakdown of the 2003/04 PhD cohort, showing by gender whether individuals are working in or outside academia. Each line represents a former grantholder's career path. The 2003/04 cohort was the first to be included in our Basic Science Career Tracker.
