Research & Innovation Funding Opportunities

Research Pump Priming Award- up to £7,500

Research Skills Development Award- up to £1,500

Closing data for applications is Friday 28th January 2022

EKHUFT Research and Innovation and Clinical Trials Unit are calling on EKHUFT researchers to put forward proposals for 2 new funding streams to support small-scale projects and skills development leading to high-quality, ambitious, innovative and collaborative research. Applicants must be an EKHUFT staff member seeking support to develop a health-related research project, and must not be in receipt of any external funding for a research project as project lead.

 

By supporting early stage projects, we hope to increase home-grown research capacity and to facilitate a high-quality competitive grant application to a research funding body. By supporting individuals at an early stage of idea development, we hope to increase the support available for researchers to commit to developing and establishing their own research ideas or career. We particularly welcome applications which give consideration to collaborating with external healthcare or academic partners.
