BGS Research Project Grant

Grants for research projects in the field of geriatric medicine and ageing.

The British Geriatrics Society (BGS) is a multidisciplinary professional organisation helping improve healthcare for older people.

BGS allocates Research Project Grants on a biannual basis to support research-related activities undertaken by non-consultant grade doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and pharmacists who work in the field of geriatric medicine or have an interest in ageing. The grant can be used for either clinical or non-clinical research. Research may be at an early stage.

The research must relate to geriatric medicine and the healthcare of older people. The grants support a complete project or, where appropriate, a pilot study to enable a future application for external project grant funding to be made.

Grants are eligible for National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) non-commercial partner status. Being an NIHR non-commercial partner brings several benefits such as local Clinical Research Network (CRN) support and training.
