Research for Innovation, Speculation and Creativity (RISC) Project Scheme Details (Hits : 3499)
| Aims: | To provide research of direct benefit to users of the NHS in England. The RISC programme is for potentially paradigm-changing projects in Health Services and Public Health Research. |
|---|---|
| Description: | The purpose of the RISC scheme is to fund new and radical ideas for health research that could lead to a step change in the care and management of patients. RISC awards are intended particularly for speculative, novel proposals that are unlikely to gain support during traditional peer review processes. The RISC programme is complementary to the Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) programme as it provides a response-mode funding stream for applications that are too speculative for RfPB. A fixed grant will be awarded to successful applicants. On completion of the research, grant holders may be able to apply to RfPB to further develop the research theme. |
