The Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Programme wants to fund a high-quality research evaluation of a national programme of Complications from Excess Weight (CEW) clinics for children and young people.

This research aims to develop the evidence base and learn from pilot clinics in order to generate understanding of the optimal models of care for complications relating to obesity in childhood. The research should contribute to a national CEW clinic framework supporting the roll out of the programme, and to inform commissioning of services by Integrated Care Systems by 2024/2025.

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.

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.
