The Greenshoots Awards Scheme provides dedicated funding for clinicians, health and social care professionals who are beginning to work as Principal Investigators.
Greenshoots Awards Scheme
Due to the process which will see the NIHR's Clinical Research Network contract end on Monday 30 September 2024, and the new NIHR Regional Research Delivery Network begin service delivery from Tuesday 1 October 2024, we are unable to provide the Greenshoots Award Scheme this year.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Esther Thomas (Workforce Development Lead) at crneoe.training@nihr.ac.uk.
Greenshoots Scheme Impact Survey
The CRN East of England Greenshoots (GS) scheme was launched in April 2019 to provide dedicated funding in the form of PA or sessional time for Clinicians, and Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals (NMAHPs) taking on the role of Principal Investigator (PI) for the first time. The scheme’s aims were to grow the region’s research capability and increase recruitment to clinical studies.
In order to assess the impact of the Greenshoots Scheme a survey was sent to former Greenshoots award holders (32/43 award holders). Not all previous award holders were still in post when contacted. Responses were received from 12 (38%) recipients.
