Developing a new research idea and applying for funding can feel like a daunting process, but we are here to support you. 

Our team is dedicated to supporting everyone at NBT to lead their own research, improve our NHS and change the lives of our patients. 

We have extensive experience in all aspects of developing a research idea into a funded project, from small scoping projects through to multi-centre national clinical trials. 

Whether you are new to research, or already have research experience, we can help you with the next step of your research journey:

• Developing research ideas
• Identifying suitable funding opportunities for research projects
• Preparing research funding applications 
• Finding peer support and mentorship
• Negotiating research contracts
• Managing research grant income and reporting through the life of your award.

The first step is to contact us at ResearchGrants@nbt.nhs.uk, as early as possible, so that we can provide you with targeted support.
