These pages list and link to the likeliest sources of funding for NHS based research, as well as showing you how to make tailored searches for funding opportunities, what costs you should be considering to include in applications, and who to speak to here about getting that right.
Always contact your Divisional Research Manager when you need to find or make an application for funding, and look at where securing funding fits into the research approval pathway.
The Trust's Research Accountants will help you with the costings for your funding application. Since a Research Accountant must sign off the Pan Manchester Notification Form which is mandatory for all grant applications and projects, it will speed up and simplify approval by involving them early on.
The NIHR Industry Costing Template has been developed to harmonise and speed up the process of calculating research costs for commercially funded studies, but it is also useful for all types of research project. Download it by clicking here
Our Costings Checklist gives an overview of the budget headings to be included and accurately calculated in all applications for funding. You may be surprised to see infrastructure and consumable costs in there, but all costs related to the project should be included so that clinical or other budgets do not have to make up the shortfall and so that the project can reach its conclusion without running out of funds.
