NHSGG&C Research Endowment Funding

This provides funding for research to take place within NHSGG&C Hospital. Awards will be of an appropriate sum within the limits of the funds available made in categories of; Cancer, Chest, Heart & Stroke, General and Renal medicine.  Following  restructuring of the delivery of services across NHSGG&C, appropriate research funds from all hospitals have been combined to form a new NHSGG&C wide Research Endowment Fund. Allocation of research funds will no longer be hospital-specific but will otherwise be awarded in agreement with the terms of the original bequests.  Application and information sheets can be obtained from the following link:.   NHSGG&C Endowment Fund
