HSC R&D Division's Enabling Research Awards (ERAs) are designed to support researchers in their acquisition of funding through NIHR Evaluations Trials and Studies funding programmes, UK Research and Innovation funding (i.e. relevant Research Council funding), AMRC member charities, US-Ireland Partnership Programme, Wellcome Trust, EU and other international research funding streams. Eligibility of applications targeting other funding bodies will be considered on a case by case basis.
The aim of this investment is to increase the rate and number of successful applications from Northern Ireland-based lead researchers to external funding bodies.
The scheme is open to experienced Northern Ireland-based investigators working in research relevant to health or social care. Applicants must be employed within health or social care services, voluntary/not-for-profit organisations providing health or social care, or within a higher education institution in Northern Ireland.
