Welcome to the NIHR Trainees Coordinating Centre
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) makes research training awards available to all professionals with an interest in people and patient based applied health research, 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 (NIHR TCC) 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 to the left gives details of all our schemes.
