Research Grants
Research is the driving force behind ongoing innovation and excellence in healthcare. ACT’s Research Grants support medical research that is vital for improving patient care. We aim to support innovative research, ‘pump prime’ pilot projects and new initiatives, build clinical research capacity and support research of exceptional relevance to patients and the NHS that otherwise would not be possible.
- These grants are made through the Research Advisory Committee (RAC).
- The RAC meets four times each year and is made up of research experts from multiple disciplines.
- Applications are considered on a rolling basis – any application that cannot be considered at any one time will roll over to the next meeting.
- Grants are typically up to £25,000. Applications over £25,000 should be discussed with the Chair of the RAC prior to making your application.
How do I apply?
Applications can be submitted through the ACT Funding Portal.
What are the application deadlines?
