Are universities and third sector providers of health and social care precluded from bidding in their own right under this programme?
Applications must come from an NHS organisation. If the application is successful, a contract will be placed with that organisation for delivery of the project and all funds for the project will be paid to the NHS. It is recognised that where proposals emerge from daily practice, considerable work may be needed to create a sound research design and we expect that all applications will have appropriate academic input.
