WCLRNDH Flexibility and Sustainability Funding
The MRC receives annual 'grant-in-aid' funding from Parliament through the Office of Science and Innovation, which is part of the Department of Trade and Industry.
Although government-funded, the MRC is independent in its choice of which research to support.
The organisation works closely with the Health Departments, the other UK research councils, industry and other stakeholders to identify and respond to the UK's health.
Around 3,300 researchers are supported by MRC-funded programmes in universities and hospitals.
The MRC is the UK’s largest non-commercial funder of clinical trials.

Programme Grants for Applied ResearchFunding The Programme Grants for Applied Research funding scheme will have an annual budget of £75 million once it reaches full capacity. Individual awards will be for a maximum of £2m over a period of up to five years. The amount of funding awarded will, however, be determined by the scale and nature of the research activity to be conducted.

The sole purpose of NIHR Programme Development Grants is to enable a research team to undertake preparatory work that will position them to submit a successful Programme Grant application in a subsequent funding competition.

Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB)The Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) Programme is a nationally co-ordinated funding stream for regionally commissioned research. AimsThe main aim of the RfPB programme is to support projects in Health Services Research and Public Health. Projects can be either quantitative or qualitative, and should aim to
study the way that NHS services are provided and used evaluate whether interventions are effective and provide value for money examine whether alternative means for providing healthcare would be more beneficial in
terms of cost and effectiveness formally assess innovations and developments in healthcare which will benefit of patients
Funding
Individual grants are awarded to fund research projects rather than set up or maintain research units, or new service developments.

Research for Innovation Speculation and Creativity (RISC)RISC is a response-mode funding programme established to provide research of direct benefit to users of the NHS in England. The RISC programme is for potentially paradigm-changing projects in Health Services and Public Health Research.
Purpose The purpose of the RISC scheme is to fund new and radical ideas for
health research that could lead to a step change in the care and management of patients. RISC awards are intended particularly for speculative, novel proposals that are unlikely to gain support during traditional peer review processes.
The RISC programme is complementary to the Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) programme as it provides a response-mode funding stream for applications that are too speculative for RfPB.
A fixed grant will be awarded to successful applicants. On completion of the research, grant holders may be able to apply to
RfPB to further develop the research theme.

HTA Clinical Trials
The HTA programme commissions research in three different ways: by advertising standard calls for research proposals that address
specific topics by advertising special calls for research proposals that address
themed areas by funding HTA clinical trials and evaluation studies that are proposed
directly by researchers.
Email hta@hta.ac.uk if you would like to be alerted when a new call is advertised

Health Technology Devices (HTD)The Health Technology Devices Programme aims to stimulate and promote collaborative research that contributes towards the development of new technology which meets patient needs. The HTD programme focuses on supporting the development of new medical devices and healthcare technologies that are capable of exploitation by the healthcare industries. HTD Calls are invited and handled through the HTD web portal at:

WCLRNThe National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Comprehensive Clinical Research Network (CCRN) was created as part of the government’s research and development strategy, “Best Research for Best Health” to provide a world-class infrastructure for clinical trials in all areas of disease and clinical need within the NHS.
The Western Comprehensive Local Research Network (CLRN) is one of 25 CLRNs across England which form part of the NIHR Comprehensive Clinical Research Network (CCRN). CCRN provides support for clinical trials and other well designed studies in all areas of disease and clinical need.
There are 3 funding streams: Research Management & Governance (R&D Office Costs) Delivery Sessional Support (Staffing Costs) Delivery General Service (Running Costs)

DH Flexibility and Sustainability FundingNIHR Flexibility and Sustainability Funding is a new research funding stream. It helps research active NHS organisations to attract, develop and retain high quality research clinical and support staff by supporting the salaries of their Faculty members in a flexible manner
NIHR Flexibility and Sustainability Funding will provide for salary costs of NIHR Faculty in clearly defined circumstances. It will only support salary costs, including direct (i.e. salary) and indirect (e.g. payroll and HR) costs. It will not fund running costs.
