Health Education England Kent, Surrey and Sussex (HEEKSS)/NIHR Integrated Clinical Academic Programme – Bridging Scheme 2020-21
CHSS will continue as a provider for the Health Education England Kent Surrey Sussex (HEEKSS)/National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Integrated Clinical Academic Programme (ICAP) Bridging Scheme 2020-2021.
Funding has been awarded to the Centre to enable up to two successful pre or post-doctoral awardees to receive a bespoke learning and research development programme. HEEKSS will award funding to support backfill cost, academic supervision, and reasonable expenses.
Available to Nurses, Midwives, and Non-Medical Applied Health Professionals, the ICAP Bridging schemes are a way of providing support to clinical academics to build on their previous academic training and develop proposals for a pre or post-doctoral award, and take the next step on their clinical academic pathway.
Aims of the Bridging Scheme are to:
- Enable awardees to develop skills in higher-level reflection in relation to research based upon their discipline.
- Provide academic supervision and facilitate clinical mentorship to awardees to undertake research that builds upon a culture of critical evaluation and enquiry in relation to their services setting.
- Develop opportunity for self-directed research and reflection.
- Immerse pre-doctoral awardees into a research environment and enable them to develop an independent piece of research in preparation for a PhD application
- Consolidate post-doctoral awardees academic training and development whilst supporting them in balancing their clinical service, and assisting them with developing an application for the Clinical Lectureship or Senior Clinical Lectureship
