A career in research
Here you will find the job profiles within Agenda for Change, some sample job descriptions, and a current consultation on competences for clinical research nurses. In addition, there is also general information and guidance on developing a career in research.
Peer reviewers/board membership
Government funding programmes and major funding bodies frequently have advisory Boards, comprising of specialists in a particular field. These Boards can act as scientific advisers, helping to assess grant applications. Nurse representation on these Boards has historically been low; improving this may well help raise the profile of nursing research as a whole.
