29/01/2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Navigating the NIHR Academic Funding Track - 29th January, 12pm, Dr Anna Volkmer and Gareth O'Brien

 

A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams, guest speakers and group online chat to exchange ideas, challenge, influence, inspire and educate.

In this session we talk about Navigating the NIHR Academic Funding Track.

Navigating the NIHR Academic Funding Track is essential for researchers aiming to establish a career in health and care research. In this Salon session we will explore the funding opportunities available within the UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) framework – supporting researchers and future researchers at all career stages. Exploring what strategies can you employ to align your research goals with the priorities of NIHR funding streams? How can you effectively demonstrate the impact of your work to potential funders? By examining the application process, key eligibility criteria, and common pitfalls, we aim to provide participants with practical insights for successfully navigating this complex landscape.
