The online calendar of the NIHR funding deadlines has been updated and can be found on our funding opportunities page. As ever, the calendar has additional features, such as hyperlinks to the specific funding webpages, and will be updated monthly.
The Research Design Service exists to provide help for people preparing research proposals for submission to peer-reviewed funding competitions for applied health or social care research. The RDS essentially consists of a team of people based in universities and the NHS across the South West, able to advise and provide practical support when you are developing your grant application. As the RDS is funded by the NIHR for this purpose, such help is provided free of charge.
