Double your chances with the RDS
Secure your funding

Across the country there is evidence to show that if a researcher takes the advice of their Research Design Service then they are more than twice as likely to have their project funded than if they do not contact the RDS.

Courses

RDS Masterclasses
The RDS will be running a series of masterclasses for researchers to develop their grant writing skills. These sessions will be free of charge to NHS researchers based in the South Central Region and will be focused around the skills you need to develop a high quality funding application.

Food allergy and intolerance day
This event will provide those with an interest in aspects of food allergy and intolerance in children, particularly dietitians, health visitors and GPs, with practical and up-to-the-minute information and case studies from leading UK practitioners and researchers.

Funding calls
HRS/INVOLVE joint PPI call

There is a joint funding call about public involvement in research funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) through INVOLVE and delivered by the NIHR Health Services Research (HSR) programme managed by NIHR Evaluations, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC).

HTA call for Clinical Evaluation and Trials
The HTA programme is currently advertising standard calls for research proposals that address specific topics and funding for clinical trials and evaluation studies that are proposed directly by researchers.

Join the PHR board
The Public Health Research funding stream is currently looking to recruit new panel members to help identify and commission new research into the questions that matter most to public and voluntary services  across the UK and also to sit on the funding panels.
