About this contract

The Better Security Better Care (BSBC) programme invests in research and consultation projects that support the aims of the programme in improving data and cyber security in Adult Social Care, as well as contributing towards central policy and strategy development. Project requirements are identified from within BSBC and JCU teams, however there is no formal route to seek out new action research ideas from across the ASC sector. Proposal Using a more traditional approach to grants funding, BSBC will allocate a portion of the annual Special Projects budget to an Action Research Fund and invite bids to run research projects. Research themes will be based on the five pillars identified by the Cyber Security Strategy combined with an assessment of strategic priorities identified in various documents such as the People at the Heart of Care white paper, emerging risk, digital and sector developments. Grants are available of between £5000 and £25000 to a maximum budget of £125,000. Please see additional documents for further details.
