The Medical Research Council is a publicly-funded organisation dedicated to improving human health. The MRC supports research across the entire spectrum of medical sciences from fundamental lab-based science to clinical trials, in universities and hospitals, in MRC units and institutes in the UK, and in MRC units in Africa. The MRC works closely with the NHS and UK Health Departments to give a high priority to research that is likely to make a real difference to clinical practice and the health of the population.

The NIHR National Co-ordinating Centre for Research Capacity Development provides support, guidance and academic training pathways for the next generation of researchers as they progress through their career. The Programme provides research training awards to individuals who show the potential to become research leaders in their particular field and whose research is people or patient-focused and relevant to the NHS.
The NIHR CCRCD manages the Academic Clinical Fellowship and Clinical Lectureship phases of the Integrated Academic Pathway. These awards make up part of a package of measures recommended in the Walport Report "Medically and dentally qualified academic staff: Recommendations for training the researchers and educators of the future".

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is committed to establishing the NHS as an internationally recognised centre of research excellence by supporting research professionals, working in world-class facilities, conducting leading-edge research focused on the needs of patients and the public. The NIHR commissions and funds NHS and social care research that is essential for delivering public health and personal social services. The role of the NIHR is to develop the research evidence to support decision making by patients, professionals and policy makers, make this evidence available, and encourage its uptake and use.

The UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) is a partnership of organisations working to establish the UK as a world leader in clinical research, by harnessing the power of the NHS. Our aim is to re-engineer the environment in which clinical research is conducted in the UK, to benefit the public and patients by improving national health and increasing national wealth. The Clinical Senior Lectureship Awards are supported by the UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC), as part of its commitment to building an expert research workforce to support clinical research and education in the context of established clinical training pathways. These awards are designed for fully qualified clinicians in all medical specialisms, including primary care and dentistry. Successful candidates will have an established personal research portfolio and will hold posts in a combined clinical, research and teaching role jointly funded by a University and an NHS trust (or exceptionally other bodies, in the case of General Practitioners and General Dental Practitioners). Further details may be found in the research section of the HEFCEwebsite: www.hefce.ac.uk/research/cslaward.
