NIHR HTA Funding Opportunities

New programme timetable

Timetables have been changing throughout 2012. In line with most other NIHR programmes, there will now be three calls a year for both our researcher-led and commissioned workstreams, in addition to our usual Themed Call. Researchers should check the HTA Programme website for detailed information about individual funding opportunities, as the closing dates may vary within the same call

Researcher-led proposals

Applications are considered three times a year. The next cut-off deadline for proposals is 1pm on Monday 7 January 2013. Full details, application forms and guidance notes will be available on the HTA website. (more…)
