BGS Research Project Grant

British Geriatrics Society

The BGS awards Research Project Grants to support research-related activities undertaken by non-consultant grade doctors, nurses, allied health professionals or pharmacists who work in the field of geriatric medicine or have an interest in ageing.

This grant may be used for either clinical or non-clinical research. For further information on who can apply please see the eligibility criteria on the right-hand side of this page.

Doctors at consultant grade are not eligible. Applicants should not already be undertaking a higher research degree (e.g. MD or PhD) or have had this awarded. The applicant must be a member of the BGS.

Up to two grants of up to £10,000 each may be awarded per round. There are two rounds every year, opening 1 April with a deadline of 30 June, and opening again on 1 November with a deadline of 1 March. Applications are not automatically carried forward from one round into the next, though applicants may choose to resubmit previously unsuccessful bids for a future round, detailing how they have changed their application to respond to reviewer comments.

The grant can be used for things such as:

Research consumables
Travel between sites
PPI involvement
Survey costs
Patient refreshments
Salaries for support staff

The grant is not intended to provide funding:

for undergraduate or postgraduate teaching
as additional funding for the continuation of established projects
to supplement existing grants or to support any activity not directly related to research
for the organisation of conferences
for attendance at conferences or courses
for computer equipment
for the costs of publications or printing
for field trips
for principal investigators' salaries.

A maximum of two grants will be awarded in any single round. All grant applications must meet a minimum standard to be awarded, as determined by the judges.

The scheme provides grants to enable researchers to follow through research ideas with a timescale of 12 to 36 months and will provide assistance to innovative research that may be at an early stage.

To be eligible for the scheme, the research must relate to geriatric medicine and the healthcare of older people. These grants support a complete project or, where appropriate, a pilot study to enable a future application for external project grant funding to be made. If this is the case, the rationale and timescale for such an application should be made clear. Six-monthly reports on progress must be provided to the BGS.

Ethical approval

Priority will be given to studies that have already received necessary ethical approvals (if required) but applicants may also apply prior to obtaining ethical approval. Where approval has already been granted, evidence of this should be submitted alongside the application. Where ethical approval is yet to be obtained, a clear timeline of this should be included within the application. If ethical approval is not required, this should be stated in the application.
