Small grants scheme

Our annual scheme awards small grants to collaborative projects across the region which are aligned to our vision, mission and strategic workstreams, and will help us accelerate the impact of our partnership.

Further funding is available to support activities aligned with the aims and themes of NIHR Wessex Experimental Medicine Network (WEMN).

The call is now open to applications, the deadline for submission is Thursday 29 October

All applications must be led by one of our founding partners and demonstrate pan-Wessex collaboration with one or more founding partners. The scheme is intended as seed funding to support projects that lead to further external funding or other defined impact.  

For more information on eligibility and how to apply, please contact us at enquiries@wessexhp.org.uk
