All ProfessionsNIHR Fellowships, Professorships

and Other Awards

All submitted proposals must fall within NIHR Remit

• NIHR supports training in clinical and applied health research, including social care research.

• The proposal must have clear potential for benefitting patients and the public within 5 years of its completion (but recognising the training element of the research).

• The research can involve: patients; samples or data from patients; people who are not patients; populations; health technology assessment; or health services research.

• NIHR does not support basic research or work involving animals or their tissue.

NIHR Remit (2)

• If the work involves biomarkers:

- research that tests whether application of new knowledge can improve treatment or patient outcomes, and has obvious potential benefit within 5 years, is within remit; This might include application of known biomarkers, or other prognostic factors, to refine and test novel therapeutic strategies.

- research that aims only to elucidate mechanisms underpinning disease, or identify risk factors for disease or prognosis (including search for biomarkers) is out of remit.

• NIHR is also prepared to support research into medical education.
