The Public Health Research Programme (PHR) is accepting Stage 1 applications to their commissioned workstream for this topic.

In order to apply you will need to carefully review the:

This call is being supported by the Public Health Research Applications and Design Advice (PHRADA) team, which is provided by the NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) for applicants from England (this was previously supported by the Research Design Service). If you have a specific enquiry about this commissioned call please use this form to contact PHRADA.

Applicants, from England, who have not been funded by the PHR Programme before are required to provide proof that contact has been made with the PHRADA service. 

You can also seek support and guidance from the NIHR RSS Public Health Specialist Centre.

Timescales

Any changes to these dates will be emailed to all Lead Applicants with an application in progress.

  • Stage 1 deadline: 1pm on 23 April 2024
  • notification of out of remit/non-competitive decision if unsuccessful: early May 2024
  • notification of Stage 1 shortlisting decision: early July 2024
  • Stage 2 writing window: early July to end August 2024
  • notification of Stage 2 funding decision: mid-end November 2024
  • earliest start date for funded studies: 1 February/1 March 2025

Please note, if a very high response is received, some applications may not be taken forward for further assessment if they are deemed to be non-competitive and/or it may be necessary to defer some applications until a later date. 'Non-Competitive' means that an application is not of a sufficiently high standard to be taken forward for further assessment in comparison with other applications received and funded by the PHR Programme because it has little or no realistic prospect of funding. This may be because of scientific quality, cost, scale/duration, or the makeup of the project team.

All primary research projects are expected to establish a programme appointed Study/Trial 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.
