RA-UK Research Project Grants

up to £20,000

Conditions and Information

Aim
RA-UK wishes to promote scientific study and the academic basis of the sub-specialty. We appreciate financial support is difficult to obtain for regional anaesthesia research, particularly for smaller studies.

The Support
The grant is intended to support research projects involving regional anaesthesia and may be used to contribute towards salaries (in which case, the employer is responsible for ensuring appropriate governance is in place) or for the purchase of items of equipment and consumable items.

Report
Successful applicants will be asked to submit an annual report through the Researchfish Impact Assessment platform, which will also be made available to RA-UK. Please note that applicants who do not submit their annual reports on time may not be permitted to apply for further funding until the outstanding report is provided.
