NIHR Cochrane Programme Grants

The NIHR Cochrane Programme Grant Scheme was established to provide high quality systematic reviews that will be of direct benefit to users of the NHS in England. Grants were between £140,000 and £420,000 spread over three years (ie up to £140,000 maximum per year).

Grants will be awarded to support a substantial and coherent programme of work that includes both new Cochrane reviews; updating of existing reviews; evaluation of ‘rapid’ compared to conventional Cochrane reviews; a suite of Diagnostic Test Accuracy reviews; or modified Cochrane reviews which produce a rapid output. Applications seeking less than the maximum grant value for smaller programmes of work will be welcome.

The deadline for applications is 1 October 2013. For more information please visit the National Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre website.
