We review all applications for support against our strategic priorities which are reviewed regularly to ensure a balanced portfolio.
If your proposal meets these priorities, the investigators are invited to attend one of our monthly Trial Review Group meetings. This group is made up of our directors, trial managers, statisticians, and public members who review proposals taking account of our strategic priorities and capacity. If successful, the CTU will assign core-funded staff to work with you to develop the funding proposal.
We have experience of applying to a variety of high-quality and competitive funding streams, including the NIHR, CRUK, MRC, and various other charities and funding bodies.
We are also part of the NIHR South Central Research Support Service (RSS) who have expertise in the following:
- study design and formulating research questions
- statistics
- funding applications
- protocol development
- trial management
- data management
- quality assurance
