Research Capacity Building Collaboration Wales

The Health Foundation, NISCHR, HEFCW and Tenovus Research Capacity Building Collaboration for Nursing and Allied Health Professions in Wales.

In 2005, the Welsh Assembly Government through the Wales Office for Research and Development for Health and Social Care (WORD) together with The Health Foundation (THF) approved a proposal from six academic institutions in Wales to enhance Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions Research Training. The partners in this collaboration have established rcbcwales (research capacity building collaboration, Wales) in order to administer and manage this training scheme.

We hope you will find all the information you need on these web pages. If not, please contact the Webmaster with your comments. Informal enquires are welcomed using the links on this site.
