What happens if my proposal is considered to be out of the remit of the Public Health Research programme?
If a submitted proposal is not accepted as being within the remit of the Public Health Research programme, the applicants will be informed as soon as possible after the decision has been made, which would normally be 2 to 3 weeks after the closing date for outline proposals. Should the programme directors feel that the proposal is within the remit of one of the other NETSCC programmes, the proposal may be transferred into another programme and considered for funding by that programme. We will notify the lead applicant if a transfer takes place. If the proposal is accepted as being within the remit of one of the other programmes this does not give an indication that it will ultimately be funded.
