Grant Funding

CSO provides grant funding from two response mode committees.

The forms for these schemes are available on the  Grants Forms Page

Scottish Researchers are also able to apply to the NIHR Schemes that CSO buys into.

Researchers in Scotland are also automatically eligible to apply for the NIHR Global Health Research Programme which supports high-quality applied health research for the direct and primary benefit of people in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), using official development assistance (ODA) funding.

Infrastructure Funding

CSO also invests through NHS Research Scotland in infrastructure to support research studies in Scotland.  More information about this support can be found at the following links:

Please note that eDRIS support on CSO grants must now be costed into CSO grant applications and funded through the grant award.
