Get support with research grants

OUR SERVICE

Studies that require a sponsor always must have sufficient funding to cover all associated costs.

Grant applications for clinical research taking place at any of our partner organisations should be reviewed and supported by the JRO before their submission. The JRO grants team can guide investigators through the process, convening partners and collaborators, ensuring all costs are accurately calculated, approved and submitted. The team will advise and support completion of the SoECAT  for studies requiring this from the funder.

The grants team will ensure all approvals are received timely prior to submission.

There is a request for timeframes to be adhered to when working with the JRO grants team.

The team will aim to accommodate investigators’ requirements, in particular those that are responding to out of plan calls, and partners’ strategic priorities. However, the importance of adhering to the above best practice timelines is linked to the quality of the application.

Additionally, our team also keeps log of the calendar of grants’ submissions per funder and speciality.

You can contact the Grants team on  grants@lhpjro.nhs.uk  or by phone on 0151 282 6653.

A member of the team will be allocated to work with you.
