Newcastle Hospitals Charity are not currently able to process any requests for funding relating to innovation or clinical research. We are working with the Trust to clarify which research proposals should be prioritised. We will update this section with the agreed criteria and a new process once this has been agreed. Please contact us on email for any further discussion on this if useful.
Projects seeking support for innovation and clinical research projects will:
- Show a clear and demonstrable benefit to NHS patients by translating ideas to improvements in clinical care and practice rather than be scientific or bench based.
- Be proof of concept or ‘pump-priming’.
- Demonstrate that there are no other sources of funding available from specific research-funding bodies/charities.
- Ensure that if any revenue and equity is generated from research or projects, a fair proportion is negotiated for the charity in good faith when intellectual property is to be licensed or assigned by the Trust.
