Closing date: 29 October 2019
Health and Care Research Wales is pleased to announce that new calls for applications to the Research for Patient and Public Benefit (RfPPB) scheme and Research Funding Scheme: Social Care Grant are now live.
The calls will be open until 13:00 on 29 October 2019.
Please note that each scheme will have a two-stage application process. Stage 1 applications will only need to provide a summary of their project and a case for prioritisation, and will be assessed on the research need and importance of the research question. Applicants shortlisted will then be invited to submit a full application in Stage 2, where the quality of the science and value for money will be assessed.
