NIHR Themed Call: Long-term Conditions in Children and Young People

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has issued a call for evaluative research for long-term conditions in children and young people. The research should aim to provide the evidence base to improve the health outcomes for children and young people that result from long-term conditions.

The following NIHR managed research programmes will be participating:

• Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation (EME)
• Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR)
• Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
• Invention for Innovation (i4i)
• Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR)
• Public Health Research (PHR)
• Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB)

Completed application forms must be submitted by 21 May 2014. Funding decisions will be made around March 2015.

A writing workshop for researchers considering applying to this call for research has been developed by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Research Design Service (RDS).
