Deadline: 8-Apr-22
The Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust is currently seeking applications for its grants programme for Innovation and Improvement in Health and Care to support the development of new models of health and care and the integration of health and care services.
Project Support
- the development of new models of health and care (to improve outcomes for people living with serious long-term or life-limiting conditions, enhance access to services or improve their resilience)
- the integration of health and care services
- areas of unmet need.
What the Trust will fund
- Applications may be to support innovation and improvement in health and care in any area of physical or mental health or disability.
- Applicants will need to provide evidence that the project will lead to innovation or improvement in health and care practice with direct benefit for the charity’s beneficiaries and explain how these outcomes will be scalable/replicable by other organizations.
- This evidence might be from a pilot study, from practice in a specific setting that the applicant is now looking to roll out more widely, or from practice in other countries that have not previously been applied in the UK.
Funding Information
- It is anticipated that awards will typically be in the range of £100K-£500K.
Eligibility Criteria
- The program is open to registered and exempt charities in the UK and to NHS organizations.
- Applications will also be accepted from UK universities that work in partnership with charities or the NHS to support innovation and improvements in health and care.
- Given the focus of the program, projects may involve several partners. The lead organization responsible for the delivery of the project, and to which any funding would be awarded, should be an established center of excellence or have the potential to become a leader in its field.
- Applications will need to demonstrate:
- the organization’s track record in developing new models of health and care and/or providing high-quality care for its beneficiaries
- how the application relates to the organization’s wider strategy
- the organization’s commitment both to sustain and disseminate the work funded by the Trust.
