More About Obtain Funding
Obtaining funding is key; without funding there is no trial. In order to secure funding for a randomised trial, the majority of trial teams outside the pharmaceutical industry must submit a grant application to a funding body such as the Medical Research Council (MRC) or National Institute of Health Research (NIHR). A successful grant application is able to adequately explain why testing your specific hypothesis is interesting and/or important. You should be able to provide preliminary data to support the feasibility of your planned experimental approach, and you should be able to demonstrate that your training and research environment(s) are able to meet the needs of the planned work.
