NIHR Pre-Application Support Fund Webinar - find out more

The Pre-Application Support Fund provides funding that individuals can use to help prepare a larger application for an NIHR career development scheme. It is aimed at individuals that require additional support to submit a competitive application. Through providing additional funding, the Pre-Application Support Fund aims to enhance the opportunities available to those that otherwise would not have sufficient support to apply for NIHR career development funding.

Round 4 is currently open to applications with a deadline of 28 November 2024.

CAPHR Writing For Publication

This interactive workshop is aimed at anyone who is writing for publication for the first time. It is open to MSc and PhD students as well as clinical staff. We will discuss the entire publication process, from choosing a journal, drafting and editing, submitting and responding to peer reviewers’ comments. Strategies for writing both efficiently and effectively will also be explored. Ideally, participants will have already undertaken some research, and be looking towards writing it up in the next 3-6 months. This could be a research project or clinical service evaluation/audit.
