NIHR Research Programmes
Introduce a new Research for Patient Benefit
responsive project funding scheme Introduce
Programme Grants for Applied Research in areas of
high priority to the NHS. Create Research
Centres of international standing within our
leading NHS/University partnerships as the NHS
support for UK competitiveness in Biomedical
Sciences and NHS Service Quality and
Safety. Expand and strengthen our existing
RD programmes Funding We plan to increase
annual expenditure on NIHR research programmes as
we move through the three-year NHS RD funding
transition period.

Research For Patient Benefit (RfPB) Project Scheme
13
The RfPB programme
  • A national response-mode funding programme which
    will support high quality Health Services
    Research and Public Health Research of relevance
    to the NHS.
  • Process

    grant awarded under the programme. They will
    normally be up to 36 months in duration with a
    total maximum cost of 200k.
