  1. NIHR Programmes and topic identification Alison Ford, Senior Programme Manager

  2. Overview • National Institute for Health Research • NETS programmes • Topic identification for commissioned research • Your research suggestions

  3.

  4. NIHR Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre • Established 2008 at the University of Southampton (incorporated NCCHTA) • Funded by the NIHR to manage 5 research programmes • HTA - largest and longest running of the DH’s national research programmes • Identifying and assessing the importance of questions to the NHS and public health communities Also: • Commissions technology assessment research for NICE on behalf of DoH • Manages funding for UKCRC registered Clinical Trials Units

  5. Evaluation Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre NIHR Evaluation, Trials and Studies (NETS) programmes - from 2012 Systematic Review Established: 2012(previously known as Reviews Infrastructure) NETSCC: Established: 2008 Health Services and Delivery Research Established: January 2012 (merger of SDO &HSR) Public Health Research Established: 2008 HS&DR SR HTA PHR Health Technology Assessment Established: 1993 Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation Funded by the MRC and NIHR, managed by NIHR Established: 2008 EME

  6. Research work streams • Researcher-led • Commissioned

  7. Efficacy & Mechanism Evaluation Programme Supports science-driven studies with an expectation of substantial health gain – aims to support excellent clinical science with an ultimate view of improving health or patient care.

  8. Efficacy & Mechanism Evaluation Programme • Clinical efficacy of functional strength training for upper limb motor recovery early after stroke: neural correlates and prognostic indicators • Pragmatic randomised trial of PhysioDirect telephone assessment and advice services for physiotherapy

  9. Health Technology Assessment Programme Funds research to ensure that healthcare professionals, NHS managers, patients and the public have the best and latest information on the costs, effectiveness and impact of developments in health technology

  10. Health Technology Assessment Programme • Developing a multidisciplinary rehabilitation package following hip fracture • The effects of a comprehensive physiotherapy intervention for adults with joint hypermobility

  11. Health Services & Delivery Research Programme Funds a broad range of research to produce rigorous and relevant evidence on the quality, access and organisation of health services, including costs and outcomes, to improve health services

  12. Health Services & Delivery Research Programme Better guidelines for better care: accounting for multi-morbidity in clinical guidelines

  13. Public Health Research Programme Commissions research to provide new knowledge on the benefits, costs, acceptability and wider effect of non-NHS interventions

  14. Public Health Research Programme Adapted walking for wellbeing in older people with increased fall risk: a randomised controlled trial

  15. What makes a good research question? • Within remit • Important to the NHS • Research focused on patients, clinical outcomes & QoL • Supported by current evidence • Timely • Structured to provide clear, well defined question (PICO)

  16. Structuring a research question • P - population (who?) • I - intervention (what do we want to test?) • C - comparator (what is usually done?) • O - outcome (what measure will tell us if it is better?)

  17. What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of………….. • P • I • C • O Why is this proposed research important? Contact (Name and e-mail)
