ARC-GM has funding to increase research capacity in social care practice. NIHR is committed to funding high quality social care research that translates into improvements in outcomes and improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the social care system for those who need or provide care and support.
Building research capacity and supporting the use of evidence in practice is a key part of delivering on this commitment. Developing social care research capacity in practice helps increase the output of research and evidence into practice, resulting in better outcomes for those in need of care and support.
ARC-GM work closely with organisations in the Adult Social Care system and we currently have several opportunities for those working in Adult Social Care* in Greater Manchester wanting to develop their career, and gain experience in research relevant to their area of practice.
Applications are currently open for our 2025 intake and all important dates and information on how to apply are detailed below.
*including and not limited to, social workers, occupational therapists, providers, social care commissioners and managers.
