The researcher development institute is backed by a £3.2million grant from Newcastle Hospitals Charity, and works alongside ringfenced CPD funds to make undertaking research easier – supporting programmes to help people become research leaders. It provides help, no matter what stage of the research leadership journey, offering everything from pre to post doctoral support.
Importantly, support is provided alongside clinical careers, as the fellowship programmes are designed intentionally to enable clinical and academic development in parallel – therefore all opportunities are part time.

Research capacity building fund

Supported by a grant awarded by Newcastle Hospital’s Charity, our research capacity building support fund is available to help support NMAHPs into research-related activity.
The 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.
