Summer Research Grants Scheme

You may be interested in a summer grants scheme run by The National Centre for Population Health and Wellbeing which will support practitioners and policy makers in health and/or social care to get involved with developing new research projects with academics at Cardiff, Swansea and Bangor Universities.

No previous experience of writing research grant applications is necessary as this scheme is to encourage staff new to this area of work to get involved. NCPHWR is offering organisations up to £1000 in ‘back-fill’ costs for staff to take a few days away from their usual role to work on writing a joint bid as research shows that collaboration is best facilitator to research being used. NCPHWR already has a number of successful projects that are bringing funds into Wales from organisations including the Wellcome Trust and The National Institute for Health Research.

The scheme closes at the end of August but only initial ideas are required at this stage. Helen Green and the rest of the support team will then work to match up the ideas submitted with academics who specialise in those topics.
