Funding call information

Internships provide funding to release staff from their existing roles for 1 day a week between 1 October 2022 – 31 March 2023. Internships will be attached to the Centre for Outcomes and Experience Research in Children’s Health, Illness and Disability (ORCHID).

Funding for this round is available to support up to five interns, with three funded by the GOSH BRC and two funded by GOSH Directorate of Research & Innovation (R&I). Proposals may therefore address one of the two aims which will determine the most appropriate source of funding:

  1. Awards supported by the BRC will align with the broad remit of the BRC, which is to support translational research for children and young people.
  2. Awards supported by GOSH R&I will not necessarily have a translational focus but will address ambitions set out in GOSH’s wider research hospital strategy and have an impact on the care and treatment provided to patients at GOSH
