title: Evaluating the funding and capacity of research in Scotland.
abstract: This paper will discuss the results of a scoping exercise carried out as part of a strategy to inform subsequent models of infrastructure funding. The exercise showed that Scotland has less research capacity in nursing and midwifery than the UK as a whole. Following the publication of a nursing and midwifery research strategy for Scotland, initiatives are being put in place to fund an increase in research capacity and capability in the nursing and midwifery professions.
