We’re updating our website

We are currently updating the ARC KSS website to reflect our new funding and the changes it brings to our programme of work.  These changes will take place over the course of the next few months.

Please bear with us while we work behind the scenes to make these improvements. We thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, if you need help finding anything, please contact spft.arcksscommunications@nhs.net

Building better research: The key components of a successful grant application Showcase

Join us for the first in a new series of online webinars from ARC KSS, focusing on the key components of a successful grant application.

This interactive session will explore how to develop a strong proposal and align it with funder priorities to maximise its chances of success.

The webinar will be part of a wider monthly series led by experienced ARC KSS researchers Dr Julie MacInnes, Dr Bernadette Egan, Dr Matt Glover and Beth Flowers.

Across the series, participants will gain practical skills, tools and resources to support research development and strengthen evidence-informed practice.

Future webinars will explore developing impact, writing for publication and research methodologies, alongside presentations from colleagues working across the diverse ARC KSS research themes.
