The RCSI National Surgical Research Support Centre (NSRSC) has been established to support surgical trial activity and develop a portfolio of multicentre surgical trials, to offer patients in Ireland the opportunity to partake in high quality surgical trials.

To achieve this objective we launched a feasibility trial call and awarded eight Feasibility Trial awards to support Irish surgeons conducting Investigator-led Randomised Controlled Trials across a range of areas including diabetes, appendicitis, bariatric surgery, wound healing devices, varicose vein surgery and chronic subdural haematoma. We will be providing funding and operational support to help get these trials open in Ireland.

To build on this initiative we are launching the RCSI-NSRSC International Collaborative Surgical Trial call to support the participation of Irish sites in an existing International surgical trials.

Applications are encouraged from all surgical disciplines. For more details about the call please see the RCSI-NSRSC International collaborative trial call document and the RCSI-NSRSC Application form. This is a rolling call and we encourage potential applicants to contact us in the RCSI-NSRSC in the first instance to discuss your proposal. Completed applications should be submitted by email to NSRSC@rcsi.ie
