Research Capacity Building Collaboration Wales (RCBC Wales)

Research Capacity Building Collaboration Wales (RCBC Wales) is funded by the Welsh Government through Health and Care Research Wales and is a collaboration between six university nursing and allied health departments in Wales: Bangor, Cardiff, Cardiff Metropolitan, Glyndŵr, Swansea & South Wales Universities.

The purpose of the collaboration is to increase research capacity in nursing, midwifery, the allied health professions and pharmacists across Wales. It does this through a number of schemes that include 'First into Research', PhDs and Post-Doctoral Fellowships.

All members of the scheme join the Community of Scholars, a collegiate environment meeting six times a year that provides mentorship and master classes in research methods and research leadership. This is an integral part of the scheme and remains highly valued by all the scholars.
