Workshops
A webinar was held to support the applicants to the first round of this commissioned call in November 2023. If you would like access to the webinar slides and recording, please contact the PHR team at phr@nihr.ac.uk.
We will again be hosting workshops for potential applicants. These are likely to take place early July (exact dates to be confirmed). To register your interest, please email the PHR team with a one page summary of your proposed research and details of up to four people (name, job position, e-mail) from the project team who would like to join the workshop by 31 May 2024.
Spaces for the workshops are limited and all one page documents will be subject to a remit check after the submission deadline, in order to ensure the slots are appropriately allocated. We are also unlikely to offer a workshop to a team who participated in a workshop in February, unless it is for a significantly different piece of research.
