Themed Calls: Advancing Research on National Health Priorities in the UK

Themed Calls represent a strategic initiative to boost high-quality research aligned with national health priorities. These calls foster collaboration among various NIHR partners and provide new evidence from diverse perspectives, targeting vital health domains. Successful launches include research on dementia, surgery, and rare diseases, with significant funding contributions reaching over £23 million. The upcoming call focuses on long-term conditions affecting children and young people, aiming to improve health outcomes by evaluating multiple interventions.

  1. What is a Themed Call? • Increases the volume of high-quality research in line with national health priorities • Provides new evidence on a theme from several points of view • Promotes capacity building in key research areas • Facilitates close collaboration between CCF, NETSCC and TCC

  2. What is a Themed Call? • Offers a unique opportunity to work across NIHR with delivery and management of calls supported by colleagues at: • INVOLVE • Research Design Service • NIHR Comprehensive Clinical Research Networks (CRNs) • Builds successful partnerships with external stakeholders, particularly other funders such as the MRC and national charities.

  3. What have we achieved?

  4. What have we achieved? • Successfully launched five cross-NIHR themed calls to date; dementia (2011), surgery (2012), very rare diseases (2012) primary care (2013), AMR (2013) • Coordinating centres working seamlessly to deliver and manage the calls on behalf of NIHR • c.a£23 million committed to dementia research with success acknowledged in the Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia

  5. What have we achieved? • c.a £23 million committed to surgery research • Delivered high profile researcher events and a writing workshop • Recognition from all quarters • Many new partnerships

  6. Future themed calls • Themed calls as pump-primers • Annual call on national priority decided by CMO • Political sensitivity • Potential for “mini themed calls” stimulated by programmes • Increasing partnerships

  7. Long-term conditions in CYP

  8. Long-term conditions in CYP • “Our Children Deserve Better – Prevention Pays” (CMO, 2012) • Rec 22: “The National Institute for Health Research should develop a research call to provide the evidence base to improve health outcomes for long-term conditions in childhood, to match the best worldwide” • Provide new evidence on ways to reduce the high mortality, morbidity and inequalities in children and young people. • Opportunities to evaluate a wide range of interventions which will provide important evidence to help guide future policy and practice in both healthcare and non-healthcare settings.

  9. Long-term conditions in CYP • CYP = up to 25 years • All NIHR programmes plus TCC • Opens 5 Feb • Closes 21 May • Decisions Feb 2015

  10. Long-term conditions in CYP • Researcher event 5 Feb • Dedicated website: http://www.themedcalls.nihr.ac.uk/ • Webinars etc • Writing workshop 7 March
