The National Institute of Health Research, has issued a call for proposals for its knowledge mobilisation fellowships.

NIHR Knowledge Mobilisation Fellowships are personal awards designed to buy out an individual’s salary costs, fund a training and development programme and fund the activities needed to complete an identified knowledge mobilisation project. Knowledge Mobilisation Fellowships are open to individuals with significant NHS and / or academic experience and who can demonstrate that they have the potential to mobilise research derived knowledge within health care settings.  In order to encourage partnership working between the NHS and Higher Education Institutions, applications must be supported by at least two organisations from these different sectors.

Because applications are welcomed from individuals working on either side of the activity gap that this scheme aims to bridge, the specific experiences and competencies expected of the applicant are dependent on their background.

Further details, including eligibility criteria and instructions for application submission, are to be found in the guidance notes.

The deadline for submission is 5pm on Wednesday 4th July 2012.
