Research in the Workplace Award
This was first awarded in 1995 by the LINC Health Panel, and developed out of the NHS RLG/UMSLG Research Bursary. HLG contributed until 2000 but in 2003-4 IFMH took the lead.
The Award was set up to encourage the development of practitioner led research and is open to those working in health libraries or information services. May be used in partnership with a university department of information science.  Winners in 1999 were Michelle Kirkwood and Anne Wilson, Glasgow Royal Infirmary for A Delphi study to determine research priorities and the corresponding evidence base in North Glasgow hospitals. In 2001/2 Annette Thain and the NHS Education for Scotland won it for a cross boundary managed information network to match the needs of a managed clinical network for cancer.
