The broader brief - a new way of commissioning:
The HTA Programme is launching a new initiative to potentially commission a number of varied research proposals under the same research brief. This broader brief is in the field of MRI scanning in planning epilepsy surgery. It is the intention of the programme to fund more than one study in this field if good quality applications proposing different interventions are received. Please contact the programme (htacmsng@soton.ac.uk) if you have any questions about this new way of working.
