We particularly welcome applications from people with expertise in current NIHR priority areas and those areas that are likely to become priorities for the NHS due to the changing population structure.
The term of office is 4 years starting in late 2021/2022. The committees meet three times a year, usually on a Tuesday and Wednesday; the schedule depends on the particular Funding Committee as follows:
Commissioning Committee: January, May & September
CET & General Committees: March, July & November
All meetings are currently being held remotely. When face-to-face meetings resume these will be held in London; travel and expenses will be paid.
NIHR is committed to a supportive, inclusive, caring, and positive community. We warmly welcome those of different cultures, ages, ethnicities, and beliefs. Diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our values and vital to our success. We are currently looking to diversify and enrich our committees. We particularly welcome applications from disabled candidates and candidates from an ethnic minority background as they are currently under-represented.
