I am pleased to announce that the BHF CRC Research Development Fund is now open again for funding.
The aim of this fund is to support the development of ideas or gather pilot data in preparation for a larger clinical study program. Examples might include:
- Assessment of clinical research priorities (including service user reviews)
- Systematic reviews
- Grant targeting and preparation
- Collecting meaningful pilot data
- Study development – collaborative work to develop a study protocol, optimise a study design and analysis plan
Funding is available up to £10,000. Please note that this fund is not intended to fund the performance of independent clinical research and should be used to aid the development of future larger scale clinical research activity.
Applications must be accompanied by a letter of support from SCTS Academic and Research Subcommittee
Round 3 is open from the 14th March 2022 with a closing date at 23.59 hours on the 15th May 2022. The total amount of funding available for round two is £40,000. Successful applicants will be notified by the 15th of July 2022
Guidance notes and the application form can be found on our website here.
