OHSRC Grants

Oxfordshire Health Services Research Committee (OHSRC)

Research grants are available to those working in the NHS in Oxfordshire. Grants are made to salaried staff, including those with honorary contracts, and to general practitioners:

(a) To support research in the areas of:

(i) clinical research
(ii) community / primary care research
(iii) relevant laboratory studies

(b) To provide opportunities for research by Health Service workers arising out of, and closely related to, their day to day practice.

(c) To wholly fund small projects or pilot studies, which can be carried out within two years.

(d) To provide opportunities for younger researchers who are in the early stages of their research careers.

Most of the Committee’s funding comes from the Nuffield Oxford Hospitals Fund (NOHF), but in addition the Committee also manages the research funds resulting from other charitable donations. Funds are limited and awards are made on scientific merit of the application. Research Grants of up to £7,000 are given.

The Committee can occasionally make contributions to larger-scale projects at its discretion through alternative grants.
