Clinical Academic Research Gateway Awards First Steps into Research Award
2025 - 2026

Recognition Type Fellowships and Awards

Description First Steps into Research placement for two clinical pharmacists within an interdisciplinary research team working on the NIHR-funded SHORTER Trial, which focuses on reducing antibiotic duration in critically ill sepsis patients. The team includes experts from nursing, medicine, infectious diseases, microbiology, statistics, and health economics, employing diverse methodologies, such as a pragmatic open-label RCT and a mixed-methods Process Evaluation (PE). Under Gosha’s leadership, the Process Evaluation integrates a novel framework combining PE with behavioural change theory, which is particularly innovative within critical care research. The trial is currently in the Internal Pilot phase and being rolled out across 50 UK ICU sites. The successful candidates will work closely with this dynamic group, gaining exposure to cutting-edge research methodologies and interdisciplinary collaboration.
