Themed Call: Long term conditions in children and young people (2014)

Background

Date opened: February 2014
Date closed: May 2014

This call supported the annual report of the Chief Medical Officer 2012 entitled “Our Children Deserve Better: Prevention Pays (.PDF)”.

This call was a key component of the NIHR's response to the need for further research-based evidence for long-term conditions in children and young people up to the age of 25 through: 

• supporting capacity building across a wide range of disciplines working with children’s health and disabilities;
• increasing the volume of high-quality research on the efficacy, effectiveness, delivery and organisation of interventions and services for children and young people.
