Additional research grants of up to £10,000 are being offered to Society members for Covid-19 related research projects.
The College of Radiographers Research Grant application will run alongside the current CoRIPs funding and will follow the rigour and requirements of the CoRIPS scheme.
Eligibility criteria states that applicants:
- must be a radiographer
- must be a member of the SoR
- must have been in continuous membership with the Society of Radiographers for a minimum of one year if they are requesting up to £5000
- must have been in continuous membership with the Society of Radiographers for a minimum of two years if they are requesting more than £5000
Unlike the standard CoRIPS awards, previous recipients of other research grants will be eligible for this additional funding.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday, 5 October.
Sandie Mathers, the chair of the College Board of Trustees, said, "This is an exciting and timely opportunity for the College to support radiographer led research relating to the care of Covid-19 patients during the pandemic."
