NIHR CRN East Midlands – Developing social care research culture and capacity in the East Midlands
The Clinical Research Network (CRN) East Midlands are working in collaboration with the University of Lincoln on a programme of work to develop social care research culture and research capacity in the area.
Two opportunities are currently being advertised:
“Opportunity 1
Expressions of interest are invited from senior social care colleagues who are interested in developing social care research in the region. This one-year post will enable a senior social care colleague to undertake one session (one half day) per week of dedicated research activity. You will work closely with other members of the project including, an academic colleague from the University of Lincoln (CRN speciality lead for Health Services Research), a fixed term Research Associate, the CRN East Midlands and relevant stakeholders.
The main focus of the post is to understand the research agenda within social care, identify key research priorities and consider how they can translate into NIHR CRN portfolio research. The role will facilitate connections between academic partners and relevant stakeholders, leading to the development of a network of stakeholders.

Opportunity 2
Applicants are invited for a Research Associate for a period of one year to contribute to the development of the social care research culture and research capacity in the area.
Working closely with colleagues from the University of Lincoln and the CRN, the post holder will contribute to a shift change in the priority given to social care research and the achievement of funded research within the region. The post holder will develop an understanding of the landscape of social care in Lincolnshire and establish a group of key stakeholders who will contribute to the development of social care research awareness and potential research priorities. In order to improve capacity for driving research developments in agreed priority areas the post holder will network and collaborate with social care providers, academic partners and research forums and organisations within the region.”
