Research Scholarships

Provide a fantastic chance to engage in nursing and midwifery research activity.

These scholarships are available to all British and Commonwealth nurses and midwives currently registered with the NMC and working in the UK. They are awarded for projects which will be of direct benefit to patients and the professions more widely.

Research Scholarships provide up to £5000 for a scholar to undertake a course in research methods, research modules or a dissertation/thesis as part of an academic course of study. The Foundation will also consider post doctoral nursing research projects.

All of these must involve clinically focused research, i.e. must be able to demonstrate impact on patient care and be academically supervised or supported.

We also have Scholarships available as a result of two partnerships with:

The London Network for Nurses and Midwives. These are for nurses and midwives who are working within London in an organisation providing patient care funded by the NHS.

Teenage Cancer Trust with the help of the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation. These are for nurses working in the clinical specialty of teenage cancer within an organisation providing NHS funded care anywhere in the UK.

Applications for 2012-13 Scholarships will open on 1st February 2012 and close on Friday 18th May 2012
