We are pleased to announce that the BHF CRC Research Development Fund is now open again for funding. The aim of this fund is to support the development of ideas or gather pilot data in preparation for a larger clinical study program.

Please note that this fund is not intended to fund the performance of independent clinical research and should be used to aid the development of future larger scale clinical research activity.

Funding is available in the following amounts:

• Small grants of up to £5000
• Medium grants of up to £10,000

Applications must be accompanied by a letter of support from a lead research group (RG) of an integrated BHF CRC society as listed on our website and application form.  Other RGs may also offer support, but one RG must act as the main supporter.

Round 2 is open from the 13th October 2021 with a closing date at 23.59 hours on the 19th December 2021. The total amount of funding available for round two is £30,000. Successful applicants will be notified by the 4th of February 2022

Guidance notes and the application form can be found on our website here.
