The Office for Students is inviting funding bids for up to £50,000 to find new ways to attract nursing, midwifery and AHP students.
The £400,000 fund is open to existing higher education providers in England, or to new providers if their projects meet the criteria. Proposals can focus on occupational therapy, or on interdisciplinary issues like recruitment and retention. There were no occupational therapy-specific projects in a previous round of funding in 2017, and RCOT is encouraging providers to put them forward now.
Applications are accepted until 25 April, and more information is available at www.bit.ly/2UFD8rd
