Research Capacity Building Fund – Available all year round


Supported by a grant awarded by Newcastle Hospital’s Charity, our Research Capacity Building (RCB) Support Fund is available to help support NMAHPs into research-related activity.
The RCB Fund is available all year round to NMAHPs at all stages of their research career, from pre- to post-doctoral, offering flexible and accessible grants to cover a range of research-related costs.
Newcastle’s Researcher Development Institute
All year round, many of our Nurses, Midwives and AHPs are working hard, alongside their clinical practice to drive forward research for the benefit of our patients.
Sometimes making space for this can be more challenging than it needs to be, for a range of reasons.
Our Researcher Development Institute for Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals is an exciting initiative, backed by a £3.2million grant funded by Newcastle Hospitals Charity.
This funding, alongside ringfenced CPD funds, will make things easier – supporting programmes to help people like you become research leaders. It will help you develop, no matter what stage you are at on your research leadership journey, offering everything from pre to post doctoral support.
Importantly we will support you alongside your clinical career, as the fellowship programmes are designed intentionally to enable clinical and academic development in parallel – therefore all opportunities are part time.
