24/20 NIHR Application Development Award for Health and Care Professionals

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is seeking to commission up to ten Application Development Awards (ADA) to carry out development work prior to research applications, with a requirement for applicant teams to involve Health and Care Professionals (HCP).

Through these ADAs and other HCP specific initiatives, they are offering more opportunities for HCPs to develop as highly skilled researchers and research leaders, and to move towards a more multi-professional approach to addressing the health and care challenges of today and the future. For the purposes of this opportunity, Health and Care Professionals (excluding doctors and dentists) are defined as:

  • Nurses (including nurses that work in social care)
  • Midwives
  • Pharmacists
  • Healthcare scientists
  • Allied Health Professions (as specified by NHS England)

These ADAs are intended to support future applications for funding from any of the NIHR research programmes. Therefore applicants may find it helpful to look at the information available about the programmes. These ADAs are not programme-specific in nature.

This funding opportunity will be assessed via a single stage application process. Applicants are invited to submit a stage two application. In order to apply for this, you will need to carefully review the following documents:

Timescales
