Academy Makes Recommendations To Build Clinical Academic Capacity

UK clinical research is currently benefiting from significant additional investment from Government and other research funders. A challenge for funders and institutions is to allocate res across the range of clinical academic specialties, to most effectively pursue research and its translation into improved healthcare. The Academy"s Clinical Academic Careers Committee, chaired by Professor Patrick Sissons FMedSci, has published a report providing guidance on how funding and re should be used to support clinical academic specialties. The report sets out factors that should be taken into account when allocating res across clinical academic specialties. Its recommendations, aimed at facilitating a more co-ordinated approach to building clinical academic research and workforce capacity, are presented as guidelines for funding bodies and Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) to utilise when allocating programmatic research funding and fellowships. Professor Sissons said, "The paper and its guidelines are a contribution to a UK-wide debate on strategies for re allocation. Given the changing landscape of postgraduate research, and the important funding decisions which are currently being made, we consider it a particularly appropriate time to share these strategies to meet current and future clinical research capacity needs."
