General Practice Commercial Research Fellows
On behalf of: National Institute for Health and Care Research, School for Primary Care Research (SPCR)
Up to eleven fellowships are available, one in each of our members: Bristol, Exeter, Keele, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford, QMUL, Southampton ad UCL and two based in previous SPCR members, Birmingham and Newcastle.
The fellowships will provide ring fenced time for general practitioners to work with key partners (including the NIHR Research Delivery Network and NIHR Commercial Research Delivery Centres) to enable new capacity in commercial research delivery in out of hospital settings to be developed. One of the aims is to help increase the number of general practices participating in commercial research.
Fellows will have academic support from SPCR host departments and have access to wider NIHR SPCR training resources and be part of the wider SPCR network. They will also form a peer-support group, working with an experienced academic to enhance their career development. They will also gain new skills in commercial research.
The fellowships will be 0.2FTE and will run to 31 December 2026. Host institutions will appoint on the appropriate clinical academic salary scale in line with local policies and procedures.
