Applications invited for PhD studentship funding: GOSH DRIVE

Wednesday 04 December 2024

Great Ormond Street Hospital Data Research, Innovation and Virtual Environment (GOSH DRIVE) is inviting applications for funding to support a non-clinical PhD student project in the field of clinical informatics.

Thanks to the generous support of GOSH Children’s Charity, GOSH DRIVE has established a clinical informatics research programme (CIRP) to support clinical informatics research at GOSH. Their aim is to support research that seeks to use data and technology to transform the way we deliver care, for the benefit of patients at GOSH and the wider NHS.

For this call, GOSH DRIVE will prioritise:

  1. Projects which focus on the use of GOSH data to improve GOSH patient outcomes / experiences.
    (Funding will not be provided for clinical or laboratory projects where data analytics is not the main focus)
  2. Early career researchers with little or no PhD supervision experience, so long as they are part of a strong supervisory team.
    (A secondary GOSH or UCL supervisor with significant PhD supervisory experience is expected)
  3. Applicants who have not already received funding from the CIRP programme.

Please email your completed application to drive.research@gosh.nhs.uk and please contact gemma.molyneux@gosh.nhs.uk for any questions and queries about this call or your application.

The closing date for applications is Friday 28th February 2025.
