NIHR Evidence Synthesis Groups

The NIHR Evidence Synthesis Programme (ESP) is accepting Stage 1 applications to this funding opportunity.

The Evidence Synthesis Programme requires a range of evidence syntheses products. This will require a balance between research which will be of immediate use to the Departments of Health and Social Care, public health and key stakeholders/audiences across all four nations, alongside evidence which will contribute to building and enhancing world knowledge. All topics will take account of “Best Research for Best Health: The Next Chapter” and other evolving NIHR priorities.

The commissioned groups will have the necessary capabilities and capacity to produce evidence syntheses across all four nations in a wide range of research topics, relevant across healthcare, public health and social care. Key skills will include information science and retrieval expertise, critical appraisal, health economics and economic modelling, epidemiology and statistics and knowledge/understanding of evidence sources.

The groups should also have established links with patient and client groups and access to a network of experts, which can be across national and international boundaries, who can support evidence synthesis production and interpretation in an advisory capacity.
