APPLICATION FOR FUNDING
NHSGG&C RESEARCH ENDOWMENT FUND ALLOCATION 2026/27
NHSGG&C-wide Research Endowment Fund will no longer be hospital specific but will otherwise be awarded in agreement with the terms of the original bequests.
The following categories are open for applications:
- General (Funds available – £86,000)
- Chest, Heart and Stroke (Funds available – £72,000)
- Cancer (Funds available – £61,000)
- Renal (Funds available – £26,000)
The usual amount of funding awarded for each project is in the region of £20k to support specific projects running for a duration of 1 or 2 years. However, exceptional projects are eligible to apply for the full funding available in each funding pot. Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate a clear benefit to the NHS and their Patients.
Endowment funds are specifically intended to support early stage researchers to establish their own research portfolio and attract eligible grants for future studies. Experienced researchers (e.g. 7 years post Consultant or Research team leads) should seek funding for their projects from an alternative source.
Completed word document and excel file applications must be submitted to R&I for review and signed off by finance no later than Friday 9th October 2026. Please send applications and all queries to Ellie Watson (eleanorellie.watson@nhs.scot).
