School for Social Care Research Mini-projects
SSRG has received an invitation from the School for Social Care Research (SSCR) for funding for mini-projects on practice related issues. £5,000 is available to fund up to two projects for SSRG members to apply for, to investigate a practice issue. The research topics need to focus on Adult Social Care, owing to the remit of School for Social Care Research.
