Systems Engineering Innovation hubs for Multiple long-term Conditions - Development Phase

  Wednesday, 15 Feb 2023 | Funding Deadline

The NIHR and the UK Research and Innovation Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) are accepting applications to the development phase of the Systems Engineering Innovation hubs for Multiple long-term Conditions (SEISMIC) funding opportunity. The SEISMIC initiative aims to commission high quality, impactful and innovative multi-disciplinary research to understand how we can best configure health and care services around the needs of people with multiple long-term conditions (MLTC).

A multi-disciplinary approach to research is vital for understanding how we can best configure health and care services around the needs of people with multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) and provide evidence to support sustainable and effective changes to UK service delivery and outcomes. The SEISMIC programme will support teams to develop innovative engineering and mathematical whole-system science approaches to understand how to improve the configuration of health and care services to better take a patient-centred, whole person approach to the treatment and care of people with MLTC. These Innovation Hubs should take collaborative research approach to fully capitalise on the expertise from the NIHR and EPSRC research communities.

Deadline for proposals: 15 February 2023
