Since 2017, the Charity has put out calls for staff at North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) to apply for Research Fellowship Grants of up to £10,000. The aim of the grant is to support NBT staff to undertake a preliminary research project which has direct relevance to the NHS. In 2022 the grant was increased to £12,000.
Applications are invited from NBT staff including clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals from any clinical area, who hold a substantive or honorary contract with NBT.
Grants might be used to support the following activities:
- conducting a research project that is of direct relevance to the NHS;
- conducting a pilot research project to provide evidence to support an NBT-led grant Application;
- pump priming to give time to develop a research idea into a full grant proposal for a funded project in the future.
The 2022 call is now open. If you want further information please contact via email: info@bhrcharity.org
