Designing Applied Health Research From Idea to Bid Proposal

2 Day Learning Event, January 28th and 29th 2013!

This learning event is designed to help in the preparation of applications to the National Institute for Health Research or other research funding body. There will be advice given on the importance of literature reviews, quantitative designs, qualitative methods and health economics, the role of your local Research Design Service, other sources of support,
funding streams and building a suitable research team. This event is principally aimed at researchers and clinicians who have experience of research but have not previously been principal investigators. Each applicant is asked to submit a research idea which they would like to develop into a proposal, and these will be used in the workshop sessions.

This learning event is free of charge to NHS, social care and voluntary sector researchers and their academic partners. Numbers are limited and applicants will be informed at the beginning of January if they have a place on the course.

Further details and booking arrangements are available on the RDS EM website: www.rds-eastmidlands.nihr.ac.uk or contact Claire Burchnall on 0116 2523276 or email: cb269@le.ac.uk
