Annual call for research applications now open

Applications for the NHS Grampian Charity Small Research Grants programme are now open.

Applicants can apply for grants of up to £20,000 to support a pilot or preliminary research project which will impact on health and social care. Research projects should have the potential to change NHS Grampian care, and to attract new external funders.

This year, we would especially welcome applications with an emphasis on:

  • Promoting health and wellbeing
  • Improving health outcomes in seldom heard patient groups
  • Listening to patients and their families

The grants programme is open to applications from any researchers in the Grampian area, including medical, dental, scientific, clinical and social care staff. This includes nurses, midwives and allied health professionals.

Please complete the application form below, in conjunction with the included guidance notes.

The charity is holding a virtual information session to support applicants on Thursday 7th November at 3pm. Please click here to register.

The closing date for receipt of applications is 12pm (noon) on Sunday 1st December

We anticipate a decision will be made and the outcome shared with applicants no later than Friday 28th February.

If you have any questions, please contact gram.charities@nhs.scot
