The Lothian NMAHP Research Framework aims to increase research within a Lothian NMAHP research community.

Research Futures is an innovative funding scheme to support early career researchers for NMAHPs employed by NHS Lothian.

The NMAHP Research Community launched in January 2011. Since then, it has established a strategic framework, and developed a number of schemes to support new and existing health services researchers.

The Lothian Clinical Academic Research Careers (CARC) Scheme for Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals (NMAHPs) is a funding scheme which operates by funding backfill for NMAHPs who wish to conduct research and develop their research skills, knowledge and qualifications.

A framework has been established to guide and promote the development of honorary clinical 'homes' within NHS Lothian services for local academic researchers, and honorary academic 'homes' for NHS Lothian NMAHP staff within the partner universities.
