CoRIPS research awards
College of Radiographers Industry Partnership Scheme Research Awards
As part of the College of Radiographers’ commitment to the implementation of the Society and College of Radiographers new research strategy, the organisation is funding small awards for projects related to any aspect of the science and practice of radiography. Bids up to £5000 for small projects and up to £10,000 for one larger project.
Bids for funding exceeding these amounts will be considered. Matched funding or other institutional contributions would be advantageous.
The aim is to support at least one award for someone who has little or no previous experience of undertaking research and development projects.
The final selection will be made by the SCoR Research Group and the College Board of Trustees. Feedback will be given to all who submitted a proposal. Successful projects will be assigned a named contact person from the SCoR. All completed projects will be listed on the Research section of the website.
Applications should be sent to Valerie Asemah using the College of Radiographers Industry Partnership Scheme Research Awards application form MSWord or to Valerie’s attention at the address below.

Successful College of Radiographers Industry Partnership Scheme Research Awards
The College of Radiographers Industry Partnership Scheme is offering research funding for radiographers researching any aspect of the science and practice of their profession.
Bids may be made up to £5000 for small projects and up to £10,000 for one larger project, although bids for funding exceeding these amounts will be considered. Matched funding or other institutional contributions would be advantageous.
The scheme is part of the SCoRs commitment to the implementation of its new research strategy which aims to increase the amount of research being undertaken by the profession.
Angela Eddy, senior lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, was one of three award recipients from 2006. Her pioneering study explored the experiences of individuals undertaking education and training for role extension in therapy radiography.
She said: "I saw the call for funding in Synergy and for me, the timing was perfect. Receiving the award brought forward my plans and gave me funding to buy some of my time out to undertake the research. Plus it has allowed me to undertake some specific research training to support the data analysis part of the project.
Other awardees were Beverly Snaith, consultant radiographer, Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, and University of Bradford lecturer, Maryann Hardy whose research focused on Establishing a standard for radiographer commenting in the accident and emergency environment in the UK.
Sandra Mathers, research practitioner in radiography at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, received funding for her project X-Raying children: Identifying differences in practices between adult departments and dedicated childrens hospitals in Scotland.
