HSJ Award for Research Culture

The Award forms part of the Clinical Research Network NHS Engagement programme of work and will be given to a Trust that has made a step-change in developing a research culture within the institution.

Entries were encouraged from all Trusts, focusing on institutional change, development and innovation rather than quantity of activity. It is therefore relevant to a wide number of Trusts and does not mean that a large teaching hospital with a lot of research activity will by default necessarily win the Award.

The Award for Research Culture is one of 18 categories in the Health Services Journal Awards. There can only be one winner, however, we will be awarding certificates of merit to other entrants.

The closing date for entries was 22 July 2011.
