Community Rehabilitation Research Network (CRRN) – mentors available for research chats

SRR Members who are working in community rehabilitation may be interested to know that a Network  that is supported by National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) exists specifically to encourage research in this field. Ultimately the NIHR is keen to fund more community rehabilitation research. If you’re an aspiring researcher there is a scheme especially tailored for you. The CRRN mentors scheme is for community rehabilitation practitioners who are interested in research, but are not ready for, or do not have access to, formal mentoring schemes (e.g. Mentoring Programme | NIHR).  Sarah Roberts-Lewis the programme manager said “Our mentors provide accessible, no-pressure opportunities to have a chat about research with someone who has expertise and experience in a wide range of areas. CRRN mentors can help with developing research ideas, signposting to resources to support your next steps, advice on who to connect with and sharing experiences of research management in clinical teams, design, approvals funding applications, analysis, implementation and so much more. We have mentors at every level of research experience to provide guidance in your career stage.
