Themed Calls

Quick Links

NIHR themed calls are funding opportunities focusing on a particular research area, in which all NIHR programmes participate.

Themed calls are annual calls prioritised by the Chief Medical Officer, and advertised across all of the NIHR programmes, and the Academy.

The current open themed call is: Injuries, accidents and urgent and emergency care

This call seeks applications for research into the prevention, management and treatment of accidents and injuries and other conditions needing urgent and emergency care.

For more information please see the specification document and list of participating programmes with call dates.
