Workshops and Conferences Support

HSC R&D Division recognises that dissemination of new knowledge is essential to enable evidence-based and research-led Health and Social Care (HSC) services in Northern Ireland and therefore provides funding to support the running and organisation of research workshops/conferences promoting evidence-based practice and research dissemination relevant to the HSC.

HSC R&D Division does not act as sole funder and funding is only considered for non-profit making workshops/conferences.
