Grants of up to £10,000 are made to salaried staff working within the NHS in Oxfordshire, including those with honorary contracts, and to general practitioners.

The OHSRC aims to:

• support research to the benefit of the patients of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the areas of:
  • clinical research
  • community / primary care research with a clear link demonstrating how this will benefit the hospitals
  • relevant laboratory studies
• provide opportunities for research by health service workers arising out of, and closely related to, their day-to-day practice
• wholly fund small projects or pilot studies which can be carried out within three years
• provide opportunities for younger researchers who are in the early years of their research careers (this normally means that established researchers are very unlikely to receive an award).

Application forms and further details can be obtained from:

Charlotte Turner, Secretary to the OHSRC
