NIHR Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Programme-Delivering a Sustainable Health and Care System

  Wednesday, 16 Nov 2022 | 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 NIHR HSDR Programme is accepting stage one applications to this funding opportunity. This call is a key component of the NIHR response in recognition of the need for further research based evidence related to the provision of more sustainable health, public health and social care services and processes and to support the UK’s ambition to deliver a ‘net zero’ NHS and meet the goals of the COP26 summit through:

• Supporting capacity building across a wide range of disciplines and,
• Increasing the volume of high-quality research on the effectiveness, delivery and organisation of health and care interventions and services to reach net zero carbon.

The expectation is that research funded through this call leads to the development of practical, real-world solutions with demonstrable impact in the short, medium and longer term. The NIHR is also particularly interested in the differential impact on inequalities that result from decreasing carbon emissions specifically ensuring that reductions in carbon emissions reduce, and do not increase, health inequalities.

Deadline for proposals: 16 November 2022
