Research Funding

The Trust supports high quality research across pharmacy practice and the wider health services field. The Trust's biggest investment lies with its commissioned research programme. This rolling programme is informed by stakeholder research priorities, the changing political climate of healthcare delivery and research findings - both Trust sponsored and from the wider health community - which identify research gaps and emerging issues.

In addition to commissioned research the Trust supports a number of smaller grants to develop research capacity. These enable small scale research projects, that may not be eligible for funding from other bodies, to be undertaken. They are awarded to both academics and pharmacy practitioners.

Both commissioning and grant making processes are underpinned by a national competitive process and a robust research governance framework.
