The EME Programme is accepting applications to its commissioned workstream for the following topics:

• 13/160 Passive and bioactive implantable medical devices
• 13/179 Microbial therapies to treat gastrointestinal disease

If interested:

1. Check – does your innovation fit within the specific research area above and do your evaluation plans fit within the remit of the EME commissioned work stream?
2. Suggest – if it doesn’t, keep an eye on the NIHR website for future calls or submit a suggestion for a future call, or consider applying through our researcher led work stream.
3. Collaborate and plan – if it does, great!  Now establish a strong collaboration with an academic unit and / or NHS organisation and/or industry and start to prepare your bid with them using the information on the EME website and their expertise.
4. Submit an outline proposal with your collaborators to the relevant call.
