HTA Clinical Trials
Outline proposals for HTA Clinical Trials to assess the effectiveness of treatments and tests within the NHS are accepted on an ongoing basis. Proposals are assessed for importance to patients and the NHS before being considered at the next available meeting of the HTA Clinical Trials Board, which is made up of around 20 senior academics.
Shortlisted research teams are invited to submit more detailed full proposals for consideration by the Board. The Board assesses the scientific merit, feasibility and value for money of the proposals before making funding recommendations.
Outline proposal forms are currently being revised. These will be available on this site by the end of May 2008.
This is an on-going opportunity to submit outline proposals to the HTA programme. Proposals are sought addressing any health problems.
The HTA Clinical Trials commissioning brief and application form are being revised and will be available at the end of May 2008.
The next Call closing date is Tuesday 21st October 2008 (1pm).
Please note that previous versions of the application form will not be accepted and potential applicants should wait until the new form is available.
We intend to consider applications four times a year from 2009 onwards and there will be cut-off deadlines for proposals to reach our offices for the assessment process.
