Researchers

Supporting your research

CRN East of England gives practical support to NHS and social care researchers in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk to enable more patients to take part in high quality research. Our team includes doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, researchers and support staff based at hospitals, GP practices, social care organisations and academic institutions.

We are passionate about the contribution that clinical research can make to patient care. Through working together we can translate this passion into the effective delivery of studies within the region.

In addition to providing funding to help NHS and social care organisations deliver research, we provide study support, such as helping with NIHR portfolio applications, staff training and development, patient and public involvement, data reporting, promoting your work locally and nationally, and many other aspects of research delivery.

CRN East of England is particularly interested in receiving applications from nurses and allied health professionals, and applications that can demonstrate the delivery of research in priority areas or areas of unmet need.

The scheme is open to both medical and non-medical qualified applicants, and is open from Monday 29 March to Friday 16 April 2021.
