The Research Education Support Grant covers the cost of university registration fees for hospital staff wishing to undertake a postgraduate degree by research and/or a research skills training course/module. It is aimed at clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals working in a paediatric hospital environment, who wish to conduct research in the clinical workspace. Please note that the Research Education Support Grant does not, at present, cover the cost of registration fees for taught masters.
This funding call is open to clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals working in a paediatric hospital environment. Those wishing to undertake research on a full- or part-time basis are eligible to apply.
To be eligible applicants must:
If applying for fees to undertake a PhD, MD or MSc by Research the applicant will require the support of an Academic Supervisor and a Clinical Supervisor. If suitably qualified, a single supervisor may act in both a clinical and academic supervisory capacity.

Research Education Support Grants will be issued under a rolling call. The call opened on the 13th July 2017 and will remain open until further notice.
