Flu pandemic call
As part of the ongoing Department of Health (DH) response to H1N1 ‘swine flu' pandemic, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is commissioning research looking into the prevention, treatment and management of swine flu. NETSCC is supporting the NIHR by pro-actively managing the research process for these projects. For more details visit www.netscc.ac.uk/pandemicflu
NETSCC is responding to urgent national research priorities in relation to flu including a recent call for proposals on the co-administration of vaccines for influenza. It has also coordinated a themed call for research proposals that will inform policy and patient care in the current influenza pandemic. Outcomes from these calls are available on the NETSCC website www.netscc.ac.uk/pandemicflu
This call for proposals is funded by the NIHR, with contributions from the CSO in Scotland, NISCHR in Wales and the Research and Development Office in Northern Ireland.
If you would like us to alert you by email when future calls go out, please email hta@hta.ac.uk. Alternatively, you can sign up for our monthly email bulletin. When a call for proposals is announced, this bulletin is issued on the same day and begins with a summary of the call.
