NIHR Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Programme-Care (Education) and Treatment Reviews (C(E)TRs) for people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people

  Wednesday, 31 May 2023 | Funding Deadline

The Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Programme aims to produce rigorous and relevant evidence to improve the quality, accessibility and organisation of health and social care services. The HSDR Programme is inviting applications to better understand the use, delivery and impact of Care (Education) and Treatment Reviews (C(E)TRs) for adults and children with learning disabilities and/or autistic people. The research funded will be intended to improve how C(E)TRs are working and understand more about what conditions are required to support their effective implementation and delivery in hospital and community settings.

Evidence is needed to improve the quality of care for people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people living in the community and staying in long stay inpatient settings, reducing the amount of time people spend in inpatient settings and to support people to live in the community with the right support, access to education, and close to home. Given the important role C(E)TRs play in health and social care services and proposals to place them on a statutory footing, HSDR Stakeholders prioritised this as an important area for further research to evaluate their use and inform their future delivery.

Deadline for proposals: 31 May 2023
