A total amount of £65,500 is available. To utilise this amount we would expect to fund approximately 5-6 requests and for this to be put to use in 2010/2011.

All applications will need to be supported by a research lead and must comprise of collaborative working between academics, service users and clinical NHS staff. Successful bids will also need to lead to the development of NIHR research (where a clear proposal of the intended work must be submitted with the application) or be attached to existing NIHR research.
