Posted by: Julie Simpson - Posted on:

Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) is launching a rapid call for 3-month projects, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), that can address prioritised research questions to rapidly inform the policy and operational response to health and care compound winter pressures.

The research community’s ability to rapidly respond and directly inform policy was demonstrated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with rapid outputs informing the UK operational response.   

There is now an opportunity to mobilise the research teams and data infrastructures established across the UK, to provide a real-time response to the significant winter pressures challenges faced by the health and care system. Speed and ability to deliver by 31st March 2023 will be a key consideration. As well as maintaining an open, transparent and team science approach, analysis teams will be required to deliver insights as rapidly as possible. 

Full details of the call and how to apply are on the HDR UK website.

The call is now open for applications and will close at 17:00 GMT on 5 December 2022.
