Funding for research.
With the exception of pharmaceutical companies, all the funding organisations have a standard application and information form outlining the areas of research they wish to encourage and fund. Many of the organisations advertise nationally, indicating closing dates and contact numbers for further information. It is important to contact fund administrations to gain feedback on the direction of your project while it is still being drafted. This article has nominated just a few of the funding sources available to general practice related researchers. It is simply a matter of becoming familiar with the variety of sources and the types of projects that they fund. By applying only to common knowledge sources such as GPEP, researchers are ignoring the availability of alternate funding sources that may be even more appropriate to their project.
