• Practice staff, where appropriate, will consider taking part in the Associate Principal Investigator Scheme for studies available in Primary Care - Look for the Associate Principal Investigator Scheme Badge on Studies listed on the EOI web page on the Primary Care Website.

• GP Practices can collaborate in two ways under the Research Site Initiative Scheme: the Centralised Funding Model or the Collaborative Model. (Find out more here).

Applications are now open for each of the 4 Levels and can be accessed by clicking on the relevant Level below. Applications will close at 5pm on Friday 21st February 2025 - no applications will be accepted after this time.

Practices can apply on their own or as a collaboration. (Collaboration is defined as GP practices applying for the scheme together as one collaborative partnership and are recognised on the RSI scheme as one site. Each practice may still have its own individual responsibilities, but the collaboration allows for shared resources, expertise, and a collective approach to delivering research initiatives. KPIs will be met as a collective rather than as individual sites Eg. If a Level 2 practice is made up of a collaboration of 5 sites there need only be one Research Lead and 1 Study can be completed at each site. Whereas if the sites each applied for Level 2 separately then the expectation would be that each site has a designated research lead and completes 5 studies each)
