Applications open for research funding scheme

A new scheme from the Roger Williams Institute of Liver Studies (RWILS) is now open, offering support for health professionals who want to develop their research career but currently don’t have the time or resources to do so.

Clinical Catalyst Scheme

The Clinical Catalyst Scheme gives research‑qualified clinicians the chance to apply for protected time, funding and expert support to help them start or grow a research project. The aim is to help more staff across King’s Health Partners get involved in research and build confidence and skills for the future.

If successful, applicants will receive:

  • Protected time away from clinical duties to focus on research
  • Funding to develop strong, collaborative research projects
  • Opportunities to work with leading researchers in biomedical and applied health research
  • Support to strengthen research skills and experience.

Who can apply?

The scheme is open to senior, registered health professionals working at any King’s Health Partners NHS Foundation Trust:

  • King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
  • Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
  • South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.

Applications are welcome from band 7 to consultant‑level staff, including nurses, midwives, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, healthcare scientists, psychologists and other allied health professionals.

Projects can focus on basic science, translational research or applied health research, but must relate to the core research themes at RWILS.

For more details and how to apply, visit www.liver-research.org.uk.

Deadline for applications is 5pm, Monday 16 March.
