  17. NIHR Fellowships – application numbers Applications

  18. NIHR Remit • NIHR supports training in clinical and applied health research, including social care research. • The proposal must have clear potential for benefitting patients and the public within 5 years of its completion (but recognising the training element of the research). • The research can involve: patients; samples or data from patients; people who are not patients; populations; health technology assessment; or health services research. • NIHR does not itself fund basic research or work involving animals and/or animal tissue. • NIHR is also prepared to support research into medical education. • If the work involves biomarkers there are specific remit guidance for this, see the relevant scheme guidance notes.

  19. Good idea to ..... • Know the process and the remit: • Look at the website • Read the guidance notes • Contact the NIHR TCC with any queries • Know your audience: • Look up previous award holders, panel members, topics • ‘Peer review’ before you submit: • Supervisor, current awards holders, senior academics, colleagues etc.

  20. New Online Application System To Apply follow the link to access application forms and supporting documentation: https://tcci.nihr.ac.uk

  21. Assessment Criteria • Person • Trajectory • Career outputs • Project (programme of research) • Scientific quality • Appropriate scale and scope • Training and Development • Meets needs of candidate and project • Place (host environment, supervisor, mentor) • RAE rating • Track record in relevant field • Time and commitment

  22. The Application • Preparation • Consider all options • Discuss with the office • Develop the proposal well ahead of submission • Talk to the NIHR Research Design Service • Take Advice from: • Supervisor • Collaborators • Mentor • Methodologist (s) • Finance Lead

  23. The Interview • Practice • Mock interviews are usually the worst • Presentation • Not too many slides • Do not go over time • Behaviour • It is OK to be nervous • Confident but not over confident • Don’t get defensive • Admit what you don’t know and be happy to take advice • Relax and be yourself

  24. The Interview The project Know it inside and out Has anything altered since submission? Know the methods and identify the expertise Think through alternatives Training and Development Identify your training needs How will the training support your project and future career intentions? The future you Be clear where you want to be What does this fellowship mean to your career?

  25. Common Weaknesses Remit: Failure to show research important to NHS, benefits patients and/or public in 5yrs Clarity & Details: Research questions not clear; don’t show the relevance of the aims and objectives; not enough detail and depth. Overambitious: Research programme not suitable for level of award; not achievable within time frame. Applicant: Person not quite experienced enough for level they are applying (research outputs, independence, etc.); not your project Training: Programme too generic and not suited/specific to the applicant’s needs and project; too centred around host organisation. Value for Money: Budget unrealistic and/or failure to justify requested resources.
