Current research opportunities are outlined below. This page is updated regularly so please keep checking for more funding, training, and events available to Newcastle Hospitals NMAHPs.
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.
NIHR DSE
The Development and Skills Enhancement (DSE) award funds post-doctoral level researchers in the next phase of their research career. The DSE is open all year round, with 3 review periods in August, December and April.
