Inspiring students into research
3rd February 2025
Applications now open for NIHR Insight Programme South London 2025/26 academic year.
The National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) INSIGHT Programme for South London aims to make research accessible and engaging for students and professionals in health and care, and debunk the myth that research is too hard or difficult to embed in day-to-day practice.
The NIHR aims to develop a highly skilled research workforce capable of advancing the best research which improves health and care, and benefits society and the economy. The ‘NIHR INSIGHT: Inspiring Students and Practitioners into Research’ scheme is part of the NIHR Academy’s expanded portfolio of career support for health and social care professionals.
The INSIGHT Programme for South London is one of 12 NIHR INSIGHT Regional Programmes. The Programme for South London is a partnership between four universities and seven NHS trusts, collaborating with four NIHR organisations supporting research generation, delivery, implementation, and workforce development. The partners encompass health and care provision in acute, community, public health, mental health, and social care.
The Director of South London Programme is Professor Catherine Evans, Director of the Cicely Saunders Institute.
