*** FINAL CALL *** *** RESEARCH IN THE WORKPLACE AWARD 2001 *** Organised by the LINC Health Panel Research and Horizon Scanning Group, the Research in the Workplace Award 2001 (RIWA 2001) aims to encourage and facilitate research activity by health librarians or information specialists. Projects can relate to any aspect of service provision, development or theory, and the award fund of £2,250 can be used to defray equipment costs, consumables, buy-out time or purchase technical support. To be eligible for the award, the lead applicant must be employed in a health library or information service for at least 17.5 hours a week, be a member of one of the sponsoring organisations (details below), and the award fund must constitute at least 55% of the overall project funding. So, if you have an idea for a small work-based research project, but limited research experience, or if you need funding to enable you to achieve your research, then RIWA 2001 could be for you. Interested? For further details, or to discuss your research idea prior to submission of your application, please contact your regional NHS librarian or call Maria J Grant, Chair of RIWA 2001 on 0161 295 0454.
