NIHR Newcastle PSRC Pre-Application Support Fund
At the NIHR Newcastle PSRC, we seek to bring together a dynamic, diverse, growing community of health and care researchers and professionals – and to collectively build capacity in patient safety innovation, research and care related to multiple long-term conditions. We emphasise sustainable, integrated career pathways for future patient safety research leaders, from diverse and complementary professional backgrounds. The NIHR Newcastle PSRC are pleased to announce that our Pre-Application Support Fund is now open for expressions of interest from pre- and post-doctoral early career researchers.
The main purpose of the fund is for pre and post-doctoral researchers to purchase time for up to 12 months to develop a competitive application to an appropriate funding scheme (such as the PCAF, ACAF, or DCAF). A small fund for training and development will be available to successful applicants.
Applicants should complete the above application form and submit by 30th November 2024 by email to psrc@newcastle.ac.uk . Applications will not be considered if they are incomplete, including applications that do not have finance and manager signature.
