Funding for researchers in the devolved administrations

In the autumn of 2023, the NIHR opened available funding to health and social care researchers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (the devolved administrations) as well as England. 

The Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR) and Programme Development Grants (PDG) funding schemes are excited to welcome applications from the devolved administrations. 

In person events

In order to reach more interested researchers and answer any questions specific to each devolved administration, the PGfAR and PDG teams are hosting a series of in-person outreach events. These will give researchers a chance to hear more about the remit of PGfAR and PDG funding, what makes a competitive application and ask questions. 

These will be full day events and the afternoon sessions will give researchers the opportunity to have a one-to-one session with a member of the PGfAR team to discuss their application ideas and receive feedback. 

If you would like to attend one of the outreach events please follow the link below to register.

In order to share this new opportunity, a webinar was held on the 16 February 2024 to outline the remit and scope of these funding awards and answer researchers’ questions. 

We also held further webinars specific to each administration throughout June and July.
