Opportunities: Global Research Nurses Pump Priming Awards 2021

The Global Research Nurses hub and The Global Health Network have made available £20,000 funds for small pump-priming grants of between £2000 and £10000 specifically for nursing and midwifery led research projects relevant to Low and Middle Income Countries

Nurses are always at the forefront of delivering care to patients and playing a key role in identifying and improving their quality of life. By getting involved in research, nurses can play a vital role in improving patient care since research is the only evidence-based method of deciding whether a new approach to care is better than current practice.

The way nurses are involved in research is two-fold. Pure nursing research looks at practice and ways to improve nursing activities, interventions or approaches to education that enhance professional practice. Examples of this could be looking at hospital-acquired infections, central line infections or pressure ulcers that patients get when lying down for long periods of time.

The other type of research is using their expertise as a nurse and participating with an intra-professional group of people around a patient population, an illness or an injury. An example of this is studying the way that a team works together to resuscitate a patient during an emergency.

We are delighted to announce that Global Research Nurses and The Global Health Network (TGHN) have made available funds for small pump-priming grants of between £2000 and £10000 specifically for nursing and midwifery led research relevant to LMICs. These may be used for three types of activities:

• To fund an exchange visit(s) to or from another area working on the same nursing and midwifery research project or with a view to developing a collaborative project
• To cover the costs of conducting a new small research project (typically proof-of-principle studies to facilitate further funding through other funders)
• To host a local, national or regional workshop/meeting about nursing/midwifery research with a view to subsequently developing a project
• The grant application should be for either a research project, travel or a workshop, not a mixture
