To support the response to COVID-19 the Research Design Service South West (RDS SW) has put together a useful resource page to help researchers. This includes relevant funding calls as well as more general information about the pandemic.
Don’t forget, your local branch of the NIHR RDS is based within the BU Clinical Research Unit (BUCRU)
The BUCRU/RDS office is currently closed due to Coronavirus. Staff are still working and able to offer research advice remotely, call us on 01202 961939 or send us an email.
