Funding Support
We see research as part of routine clinical care, however, any research activities that falls outside of routine clinical care will need funding. The Research & Innovation Department does not have a central budget for this purpose, but there are a number of funding streams available to support your study.
Charitable funds
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Charitable Trust awards grants to promote high quality research & to encourage pump-priming medical research projects. To make an application your research study should:
- have the potential of a clear patient benefit
- be of high quality
- with an emphasis on translational & applied health services research
If you wish to make a bid to a charitable trust fund (usually not exceeding £20,000), a fully costed application should be submitted to the Research & Innovation Department with a completed Research Review Form.
