Funding for your personal development
Clinical Academic Research Partnerships (CARP)
This scheme funds research-qualified health professionals not currently undertaking any substantial research activity, to form a collaborative high-quality research partnership with established biomedical and applied health researchers. You are eligible to apply if you are a member of NHS staff, staff contracted to the NHS, or working in the care or public health sectors. This includes, but is not limited to - medics, dentists, NMAHPs, healthcare scientists, pharmacists, clinical psychologists, public health practitioners and others in either primary/secondary care, community care or public health.
You must hold a PhD, MD or equivalent postgraduate qualification (e.g. 3 years consolidated research time where you have driven the research and achieved strong outputs from your research experience).
You must not be undertaking any substantive research activity. It is expected that you will have less than half a day per week dedicated to research within your current contract. Proposal from applicants with more dedicated research time are accepted but you must detail the added value of the award if successful.
It is a 1-3 year funding scheme run in partnership between NIHR and MRC. Each award funds 20% - 50% of the applicant's basic salary and costs to undertake the project.
