Pump Priming Research
The British Society for Surgery of the Hand invites applications from its members and associates for its pump priming scheme. This is intended principally to pump prime early studies and systematic reviews, that may lead to applications for larger funding from other organisations. The projects funded should pump prime research with the potential to benefit patients. The scheme will fund two small project grants of up to a maximum of £10,000. The aim of the scheme is to promote high quality research proposals, to support pump priming, proof of principle and feasibility studies or to increase the chances of applicants being successful in winning substantial external funding.
Applications should be sent to secretariat@bssh.ac.uk by 1st August each year and award decisions will be made in the Autumn, sometimes following an interview. If you require further information or have any queries with regard to these awards please contact the Secretariat.
