NIHR-Funded Researchers - Career Paths & Setbacks

Have you received NIHR funding or support to develop your research career? I’d love to hear your story. We’re looking for researchers who have navigated the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) career pathway to feature in our Dementia Researcher Careers Planner. Whether you’ve secured a predoctoral or doctoral award, a fellowship, followed a clinical academic route, or benefited from support through an NIHR ARC, BRC or School, your experience could help someone else figure out their next step. And I’m not just interested in the success stories. I want to hear about the applications that didn’t work, the difficult decisions, the unexpected opportunities and the people who helped you along the way. That’s often where the most useful advice comes from. ⏰ We’re gathering our next round of career stories NOW, so please don’t put this on the ‘I’ll do it later’ list! We’ve created a new form to capture your journey. You don’t need to be a brilliant writer, and bullet points are absolutely fine. We’ll turn your answers into a case study, which you’ll get to review and approve before anything is published. 🎁 As a thank-you, everyone who completes the form will be entered into our raffle! 👉 Share your career story here: https://lnkd.in/echRm-xR And please, give this a share. If you’ve got colleagues who’ve received NIHR funding, tag them or send them the link. I’d particularly love to hear from nurses, allied health professionals, social care researchers, clinical academics and people who’ve taken less conventional routes into research. The more varied the stories, the more useful we can make this for the next generation of dementia researchers. #NIHR #DementiaResearch #ResearchCareers #ClinicalAcademicCareers #ResearchFunding #DementiaResearcher
