Studies within a trial or review
This funding opportunity is eligible for a SWAT/SWAR (study within a trial or study within a review), which can help significantly improve methodology of future research as well as the host study. Find out about the benefits of SWATs/SWARs and how to include one in your application.
Webinar
We will be holding a webinar to discuss the HTA Programme's current funding opportunities in social care on 21 May 2024, 12pm to 1.15pm.
This will include:
- 24/16 The effectiveness of technologies for people living with deafblindness in social care settings
- 24/12 Improving Outcomes for Children and Young People in Care Using Interventions that Combine Mentoring with Skills Training
- 24/13 Digital Technology enabled interventions in Social Care
The webinar will be followed by virtual clinics from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. This will provide an opportunity for potential applicants to discuss their proposed research with the NIHR team and Research Support Service (RSS) colleagues. Applicants may register to attend just the webinar by emailing their name and institution to htaresearchers@nihr.ac.uk. However, if you would like to also join a clinic, please email in a one-page PICO summary of your proposed project to htaresearchers@nihr.ac.uk before 7 May.
As places are limited, we will then review the submissions and confirm whether you have a place. The intention is for the one-page summary to provide a basis for discussion at the clinic. Please note that there is no guarantee of funding by attending a clinic; the purpose of the clinics is to offer assistance and advice to potential applicants.
