The Wellcome Trust Evaluation Team launched the Basic Science Career Tracker (BSCT) in 2009 to track the career destinations of recipients of funding of several of the Wellcome Trust's strategically important funding schemes (see page 2 for the list of schemes) and to give us an understanding of the career choices of those we fund. We launched the Clinical Career Tracker (CCT) in 2011.
