The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Policy Research Programme (PRP) invites applications for the development phase of a multi-phase research project to build the evidence around ‘what works’ to support unpaid carers by evaluating the use and impact of support for unpaid carers funded through the BCF. This includes funding earmarked specifically for support for unpaid carers (c£290m in 22/23: this may vary in future years) and any further discretionary spend by local areas.

For more information, please consult the Research Specification for this call (linked on the left hand side).

We will be holding a webinar & Q&A session to discuss this call on Monday 23 January 2023, 3:00-4:30pm. You can sign up to this session via the registration form. We will not be able to record the session but will aim to publish the Q&A portion shortly after the event.

The submission deadline for applications is 1pm on 14 February 2023.
