The real increase in health research funding provided
by the Department of Health in 1994 enabled the
Board to generate major significant new research
activity as follows:
A large scale (£35,000 per annum) Primary Health Care
Research Project Grant- a first major initiative in this
important area of the Board's research remit.
A Health Services Research Project was widely
advertised and, following initial declaration of interest,
a modified format for this project grant was devised
and readvertisement was decided to attract even more
competitive applications.
Plans were set in train to phase in a significant number
of new Research Units and these will be selected later
in the year following an extensive and rigorous peer
review assessment.
The number of standard research project grants showed
a significant increase from 44 in the previous year to
61 this year leading to the employment of 17 additional
research scholars which will ensure the retention of our
most talented graduates who would otherwise
emigrate.
The outstanding success of the Post-Doctoral Research
Fellowships prompted further major reinvestment in
this area and the number of Fellowships was doubled
from four to eight with a further two additional
Fellowships being supported by a generous bequest
from a private benefactor. The experienced personnel
recruited for these high prestige positions is a further
reflection of the significant impact the HRB can make
with relatively modest additional funding.
The first awards for advanced training in Nursing
Research were made under the Board's Post Graduate
Training Grants Scheme emphasising the desire of the
Board to substantially promote research in nursing and
other areas where health professionals can make a
major contribution to the national research effort.
The demand for research support continued to grow as
evidenced by a 35% increase in applications for the
Board's Research Project Grants.
