Welcome to the NIHR Trainees Coordinating Centre (NIHRTCC)

Document Actions

The NIHR Trainees Coordinating Centre (NIHR TCC) makes training awards to researchers whose work focuses on people and patient-based applied health research. The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funds this research training in order to build a leading NHS Research Faculty, develop research careers, research leaders and collaborators. This research capacity development is managed by the NIHR Trainees Coordinating Centre (NIHRTCC) and funded by the Department of Health.

The research must be relevant to the NHS, focused on the current and future needs of patients and the public and expected to have an impact within 5 years of its completion. The NIHR does not fund basic research or work involving animals and/or animal tissue.

There are a large range of awards available: at different levels, to suit different work arrangements, types of NHS staff and career paths. The menu box on the left gives details of our programmes.
