Research funding opportunities

Clinical research fellowships awarded to encourage clinicians into an academic career in rheumatology or any related field concerned with the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

Aims to retain the best postdoctoral researchers in areas of research relevant to arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases and provide an opportunity for fellows to develop independent research ideas at an early stage in their career.

Provides longer term support which aims to answer an interrelated set of questions on a broader front than would be feasible with a project grant.

Provides support for research which bridges the gap between basic science and clinical research, with the aim of speeding up translation of research findings for the benefit of patients.

Applications are invited for ambitious and innovative research that will have a significant impact on tackling the pain of musculoskeletal diseases. Funded research resulting from the call will be expected to make a significant leap forward in our understanding of musculoskeletal pain, how it is managed and how it may be prevented.

Seeking applications for clinical research focused on priority areas defined in the strategies put forward by the previous Clinical Study Groups, those of RheumaMap and the priorities set by the NIHR's James Lind Priority Setting Partnerships, where they are relevant to Versus Arthritis
