We’re delighted that Professor Marian Knight will be joining us online on Tuesday 23rd January 2024 to share insights into the NIHR Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR) scheme. The session will be chaired by Professor Dame Nicky Cullum, and we’ll also hear insights from Professor Penny Bee who has experience as a member of the PGfAR review panel and as an award holder.
PGfAR funds NHS, public health and social care practitioners to work together with academic partners to tackle health and social care problems, and provide some stability of funding to support the long-term development of top quality applied research groups. The aim of the scheme is to deliver research findings that will lead to clear and identifiable patient, service user or carer benefits, typically through promotion of health and wellbeing, prevention of ill health, and optimal disease management (including safety and quality). Programme Development Grants (PDG) are available for researchers to carry out targeted preparatory work to strengthen a future full PGfAR application.
The agenda is as follows:
12:00 – 12:05, Introduction (Nicky Cullum)
12:05 – 12:25, Overview of the PGfAR scheme and view from the Programme Director (Marian Knight)
12:25 – 12:45, Insights as a panel member and award holder (Penny Bee)
12:45 – 13:00, Q&A
The session will be chaired by Nicky Cullum (Associate Dean for Research and Innovation, Health Sciences).
