Ce financement vise à soutenir le développement d'un projet de recherche. Nous souhaitons accompagner la co-élaboration d'une question de recherche spécifique, pertinente pour la santé et les soins, en vue de constituer une demande de subvention solide auprès du NIHR.
Il existe trois types de RCF réactifs auxquels vous pouvez postuler :
- Idées préliminaires (Type 1) = 3 000 £ pour lancer le co-développement d’idées de recherche, telles que la mobilisation des parties prenantes et les travaux sur l’implication des patients et du public (IPP).
- Préparation des demandes de subvention NIHR (Type 2) = Jusqu'à 20 000 £ pour la rédaction de la demande de subvention NIHR. Cela peut inclure des activités contribuant à la rédaction d'une demande de haute qualité, telles que la collecte préliminaire de données et l'analyse de la littérature.
- Participation des patients et du public (PPP) aux demandes de bourse.
Read the guidance for applicants below and please check the list of activities we aren’t able to fund using RCF.
Please submit completed application forms to bnssg.research@nhs.net.

Research Capability Funding (RCF) Themed Calls 2026/27
The NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB research team is committed to supporting health and care research that addresses the needs of our local population and reduces health inequalities.
Through our Research Capability Funding (RCF) Themed Calls, we invite applications to develop research in priority areas identified through community engagement and system-wide review. This does not replace our normal RCF Responsive Call, which is open in addition to the Themed Call.
For 2026/27, two research themes have been selected following extensive engagement with under-served and under-represented communities across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire:
- Theme 1: Improving Men’s Health Outcomes Through Community-Based Approaches
- Theme 2: Housing Conditions, Affordability and Security as Drivers of Health Inequalities
Funding and assessment
Themed Call applications are submitted, reviewed and assessed in the same way as Responsive Call applications and must meet the same standards for fundability.
Please read the Responsive Call guidance above alongside the Themed Call guidance before applying.
