ABOUT LGC GRANT MANAGEMENT GROUP

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). We work in partnership with the NHS, universities, local government, other research funders, patients, and the public. The NIHR funds, enables, and delivers world-leading health and social care research that improves people's health and wellbeing and promotes economic growth. We are also a major funder of applied health research in low- and middle-income countries.

DHSC contracts directly with a number of NHS Trusts, universities and life science organisations that together host our two coordinating centres:

These two coordinating centres share operational responsibility for the NIHR. Their work is directed by DHSC’s Chief Scientific Adviser and by the Director and Senior Management Team of DHSC's Science Research and Evidence Directorate.

Job Description

The Programme Manager will support the day-to-day delivery of the NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme, which will involve managing and supporting the funding processes and effective monitoring of funded projects.

You will carry out due diligence of project proposals and will be able to critically analyse the project rationale, and, with support from senior colleagues, the proposed intellectual property (IP) and commercialisation arrangements. Other key aspects include the effective management of a portfolio of funded projects and the capture of key outputs and impact metrics on delivering innovations to the NHS and the UK economy. You will also be expected to contribute to the improvement of operational processes and working practices.

You will need to have good interpersonal skills to establish productive relationships with key internal and external stakeholders, including entrepreneurs, academics and clinicians, and you will need to be comfortable with working to tight deadlines and competing priorities while maintaining a high quality of outputs.
