The Urology Foundation’s Smaller Research Projects Fund is open to anyone with a bright idea for clinical practice in urology, and patient benefit is a must, the foundation’s grants manager, Oliver Morris, tells Ashleigh Furlong.
Oliver’s top tips
- This scheme is ideally for projects that could result in clinical application soon.
- As prostate cancer dominates urology research funding, applications in other areas might find favour.
- Value for money will be important to reviewers.
- The fund welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and career stages and is not only open to urology specialists.
The Urology Foundation Smaller Research Projects Fund offers grants worth a maximum of £10,000. Projects should be aimed at creating patient benefit via research into services, treatments and communications.
