Research Training Bursaries
2009 Research Training Bursary Scheme
This call is now closed for applications. A second call for applications will be announced in July 2009 subject to availability of funds.
The Pharmacy Practice Research Trust bursary scheme is funded by the Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust.
The Bursary Scheme is intended to support community pharmacists who have an interest in developing their skills in conducting research relating to everyday practice. The Trust has £40K to fund a number of projects over the following levels of funding available:
- Level 1 - funding to undertake research modules and a small-scale project (supported by a research organisation, for example, a Higher Education Institute, Primary Care Research Network or Research and Development Unit).
- Level 2 - funding to upgrade a Diploma in Clinical/Community Pharmacy to a MSc, which usually involves undertaking a further two modules (one on research methods) and undertaking a project.
- Level 3 - funding to undertake a non-pharmacy MSc.
Applications are invited from community pharmacists, self employed (as locums or independent community pharmacists) or employed by a small chain of up to 60 registered premises, who demonstrate a real need for external support to develop their skills and careers in research.
