The Research Scholars Programme (RSP) is designed to develop ‘research-interested’ individuals in the earlier phase of their clinical research careers. Such individuals may not have previously been involved in NIHR portfolio research or they may have had some involvement in delivery of NIHR trials but not in a significant leadership role. The RSP is open to medical consultants and General Practitioners in the first five years (career breaks excluded) of their careers as well as established colleagues from across other clinical professions such as Allied Health Professionals and Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy, Radiography and Pharmacy.

The aim of the programme is to provide successful applicants with remunerated time to enable recruitment into NIHR research studies and establish themselves as Principal Investigators / future Chief Investigators. The RSP provides protected time to support the generation of research outputs including trial delivery and the development of research collaborations / future NIHR grant submissions. Successful scholars are allocated a two-year award to support research career development and NIHR research delivery from NIHR CRN NWC

I developed all the programme content myself, invited a range of speakers from academia and the NHS, who had experience of successful research and leadership and set up a scholars mentorship scheme.
