East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust has been awarded £108,000 from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
The Trust has made three successful bids relating to cancer, renal medicine and multi-specialty research projects at the Lister hospital and Mount Vernon Cancer Centre.
The funding will pay for staff to work on research projects until 31 March 2019 across the three areas.
Phillip Smith, the Trust’s associate director for research and development, said: “The Trust is building an even stronger reputation for the breadth and quality of its research programmes and this latest round of funding success is further proof of the confidence that national funders have in the work being undertaken at our hospitals. The funding provided by the NIHR will continue to help us build our research relationships with colleagues at the University of Hertfordshire and Brunel University amongst others.”
