To stay up to date with our research capacity development opportunities please sign up to our newsletter.
The ARC Fellowship is aimed people working in health, care and voluntary service settings across the East of England. It is for those who would like to work at the interface of research and practice, develop an understanding of the research environment, and develop skills in research methodology, service redesign, change management and implementing evidence-based improvements into practice.
Since the schemes establishment in 2010, over 150 ARC Fellowships have been awarded. Our fellows have come from a wide range of clinical and non-clinical backgrounds including Clinical Psychologists, Registered Nurses, Allied Health Professionals, Pharmacists, General Practitioners, Consultant Psychiatrists, Paediatricians and Consultants in Palliative Care, and managers in health and social care services.
There are two types of Fellowships: Research and Impact. Applicants can apply for either the ARC Research Fellowship or the ARC Impact Fellowship.
If the Research or Impact project is NHS based, we strongly encourage aligning your project focus to the Darzi review of the NHS. This broadly includes the following areas of focus:
- Primary prevention of ill health and prevention of escalation of health needs
- Support for treating people away from acute care
- Support for the health and care workforce
- Supporting elective care recovery and supporting people waiting
For Research or Impact projects in social care or other non-NHS settings, the applicant can prioritise their own research/impact questions.
