Rolling programme of review
Responsive Grants are a quick and straightforward way for staff to access funding for smaller projects that make a real difference to patients, staff, and services across Nottingham University Hospitals.
They are designed to help the Charity respond quickly to ideas and needs as they arise within the Trust.
What can Responsive Grants support?
Responsive Grants sit across the main themes of our grant strategy, including:
Patient Experience
Projects that improve comfort, care, or the hospital environment for patients.
Staff Wellbeing
Initiatives that support staff health, wellbeing, and day-to-day working life.
Staff Development
Smaller training, learning, or development opportunities for staf
Responsive Grants are best suited to projects that:
- Are relatively low in cost
- Can be delivered quickly
- Have a clear, simple outcome
- Improve either patient experience, staff wellbeing, or staff development
If your idea is larger in scale or cost, it may be better suited to a Large Grant application.
A good starting point is to have a rough idea of cost, as this will help determine whether your project fits within a Responsive Grant or requires a Large Grant application.
You can learn more about each theme here:
- Patient Experience
- Staff Wellbeing
- Staff Development
These pages will help you understand what types of projects are typically funded and help you decide which grant is the best fit for your idea.
If you’re not sure whether your project is suitable for a Responsive Grant or a Large Grant, the Charity team can help guide you in the right direction before you apply.
