About
The NIHR Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme and the NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) are offering a series of webinars and workshops focused on social care to encourage and support people in applying to the NIHR HTA Programme for social care funding.
The NIHR is committed to nurturing high-quality research in adult and children’s social care. The HTA Programme is designed to evaluate how effectively our actions improve the lives of individuals who use and often rely on health and social care services.
This programme of support which brings together social care experts with experience from the NIHR HTA Programme and the RSS Specialist Centre for Social Care aims to help you overcome any barriers and encourage applications to social care research opportunities to increase robust evaluations of social care services and interventions.
By attending, you will:
- gain a clear understanding of what makes a compelling HTA social care application
- hear firsthand insights from researchers who have successfully secured HTA social care funding
- discuss your specific proposal with members of the HTA Programme team and the Research Support Service (RSS)
- connect and collaborate with fellow social care researchers
- utilise dedicated, quiet time to scope and draft your research proposal
