The Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Programme is accepting Stage 1 applications to this funding opportunity. The programme aims to commission high quality, well designed research which will be carried out by effective and efficient research teams, providing findings which meet the needs of NHS and Social Care managers and leaders.
In order to apply for this call you will need to carefully review the following documents:
All primary research projects are expected to establish a programme appointed Study Steering Committee and it is important that you read the Research Governance Guidelines before completing your application. Costs incurred by this committee should be included in the budget as appropriate.
Please note that the HSDR Programme no longer offers a straight-to-Stage-2 call for evidence syntheses (ES) and therefore applicants are welcome to submit ES proposals via the researcher-led call.
The HSDR Programme would like to make applicants aware that commissioned calls may be prioritised for committee review over researcher-led applications due to capacity. Applicants will be informed as soon as possible if their application is delayed at any stage.
