Accessibility support

If you are disabled or have a long-term health condition, we can offer support to help you engage with Cambridge NeuroWorks, navigate our funding application process, or carry out your project.

Engaging with Cambridge NeuroWorks

You can request reasonable adjustments if you need help when engaging with Cambridge NeuroWorks. If you think you might need help, you can contact us at enquiries@cambridgeneuroworks.com to discuss your individual needs.

Cambridge NeuroWorks might ask you if you require reasonable adjustments when we are in contact with you (for example, during the process of signing up for virtual or physical events).

Applying for Cambridge NeuroWorks fellowships

When you are applying for Cambridge NeuroWorks fellowships, you can request reasonable adjustments to help you with the application process. Examples of reasonable adjustments that Cambridge NeuroWorks can provide to applicants include:

  • Providing you with accessible versions of documents (for example, large print, braille, or audio).

  • Giving additional guidance on how to complete the application or answering questions.

  • Extending deadlines for the submission of clarification questions or applications.

Cambridge NeuroWorks understands that the type of support required might differ from person to person. If you think you might need help, you can contact us at enquiries@cambridgeneuroworks.com to discuss your individual needs. We would encourage you to contact us as early as possible. Additionally, it will help us to respond if you clearly indicate that your query relates to reasonable adjustments and let us know which funding opportunity you are intending to apply for.

If you are applying as part of an organisation, in most cases you should ask them if they are able to provide you with reasonable adjustments to support your application (before or at the same time as asking Cambridge NeuroWorks). Under the Equality Act 2010 (and equivalent legislation in Northern Ireland), employers have a duty to provide reasonable adjustments and to remove barriers that place you at a substantial disadvantage due to your disability.

Support for existing Cambridge NeuroWorks fellows

If you are an existing Cambridge NeuroWorks fellow, we might be able to provide you with additional support if:

  • You did not know what reasonable adjustments you needed when you applied for Cambridge NeuroWorks fellowship; or

  • Your circumstances have changed since you applied.

If you think you might need help, you can reach out to your Cambridge NeuroWorks team or you can contact us at enquiries@cambridgeneuroworks.com to discuss your individual needs.

As above, if you applied as part of an organisation you should ask them if they are able to provide you with reasonable adjustments to support your work (before or at the same time as asking Cambridge NeuroWorks). 

You can contact us at enquiries@cambridgeneuroworks.com if you need our help or have any further questions.
