In 2017 the charity put out a call for staff 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.
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.
Another call will be announced in early 2020. If you want further information please contact via email: info@bhrcharity.org
