Community Researcher Application Form
Thank you for your interest in becoming a researcher for the COVID-19 Community Research Project. We’re looking for 24 people to help us understand more about COVID-19 and its impact.

You’ll be part of a team who’ll work together, to gather the views and experiences of local people from March onwards. This team of researchers will carry out research with local people to understand the impact of COVID-19 and what solutions are needed to support recovery amongst their communities.

We are particularly interested to hear from residents who live in or near the town centre of Bedford in areas like Cauldwell, Castle, Kempston, Harpur and Queen’s Park. We’d also like to involve people from Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Biggleswade, Sandy, Leighton Buzzard North and Filtwick East in Central Bedfordshire. These areas have been hardest hit by COVID-19.

You’ll receive professional training as well £500 in vouchers if you commit to the project.

HOW TO APPLY  

Please complete following form below by Sunday 13th March 2022.      

Once we receive your application, a member of our team will contact you to set up an informal chat on a day and time convenient to you between Wednesday 9th March and Friday 18th March 2022. The call will be online and last no longer than 30 minutes.
