RCTs are not explicitly excluded. The proposals that RfPB will fund are generally not geared towards clinical trials (unlike HTA) as they can be relatively expensive, considering the budget of £250K. However, if your proposal is within the financial limits of the programme; clearly demonstrates the need for a RCT; and has an expected patient benefit output then it will not be ruled out for funding.
