On Tuesday 24th October, RDS are running a 2 hour workshop to give an overview of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Clinical Research Networks and the NIHR ‘portfolio’.
This workshop is designed to raise awareness of the benefits of the NIHR’s portfolio of research studies to BU and NHS partners. It will also explore the role of the NIHR Clinical Research Networks (CRN), with an emphasis on the set-up and work of our local network, Wessex.
The workshop will cover the requirements to be eligible for the NIHR portfolio, how to apply so that your study may be considered for adoption, and how to access the support of the NIHR CRN.
By the end of this workshop you will have an understanding about:
- The work of the NIHR and layout of the CRNs
- How to apply for and the requirements for portfolio adoption
- The benefits of having a study on the NIHR portfolio
If you’re interested in attending then reserve your place via Organisational Development.
