Health Education England North / NIHR BRIDGING SCHEME


After what has been a difficult time in the NHS over recent months we are happy announce that the HEE/NIHR Bridging Scheme is back!!!

Applications for the next cohort will open on 1st August 2020.

 
 
This scheme is designed to help nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, pharmacists and healthcare scientists to build the strongest possible applications for a PhD or a post-doctoral level fellowship primarily, though not exclusively, within the NIHR Integrated Clinical Academic (ICA) programme.  

It’s designed to help those want ‘to make a difference’ through high quality applied clinical research in pursuit of a research leadership role. If you are a clinician who wishes to develop a clinical academic career, then the scheme may offer the support you need.

To be eligible for one of these personal awards you must be about to complete a masters degree or PhD, hold a professional registration and have begun to develop a research profile within an NHS organisation.

We intend to commence the scheme in January 2021 (though this is yet to be confirmed by Health Education England) in order to align  the application and recruitment process with the NIHR fellowship application dates.
 
Enquiries and applications are invited from eligible professions working across the North West, North East and Yorkshire & Humber regions of England.
