NIHR Impact Prizes
Every day NIHR research saves lives and improves the quality of life of the public. The research we support drives improvements to our health and care services, resulting in better wellbeing, better productivity, and significant contributions to the wider economy.
Our brand new NIHR Impact Prizes will celebrate researchers and teams who have maximised the impact of their research and whose research has transformed people's lives or promoted economic growth.
The Impact Prizes are open to those who have received NIHR funding or support across the range of areas NIHR funds, including health, public health, social care, and global health research.
We will award up to 6 Impact Prizes, up to 3 for research teams or individuals, and up to 3 specifically for early-career researchers. Winners will be nationally recognised at an in-person award ceremony in March 2025, hosted by Professor Lucy Chappell, the Department of Health and Social Care’s Chief Scientific Advisor and CEO of the NIHR.
How to enter
Applicants are expected to complete a short form, including details on the impact of the research and how it was achieved. Applicants are also required to submit a 2-minute video about the impact of their research.
Applications are now open and will close at 1pm on 13 November 2024.
