A masterclass for anyone thinking of applying for a health or social care research grant, either from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) or from other open, competitive, peer reviewed sources of funding.

Details:
The masterclass will focus on how to sell your research idea by:
• Understanding what reviewers are looking for in an application
• Making your research idea clear and compelling to reviewers
• Writing a convincing application with a good structure, flow and argument
• Presenting a strong methods section, including statistical, qualitative, health economics and patient and public involvement (PPI) elements
• Having a good project plan
• Engaging with sources of external support for your research
• Showing careful consideration of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI)
• Showing you have thought sensibly about dissemination and the impact of your work

Optional one-to-one sessions with RDS advisers will be available so you can discuss your own research idea with experienced methodologists and facilitators.

Who should attend:

This event is open to UK-based healthcare professionals, social care and public health practitioners, health researchers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are intending to apply to any NIHR or other open, competitive, peer reviewed health or social care funding programme in the 12 months following the masterclass.
