Obesity
The NIHR HTA programme is funded by the NIHR, with contributions from the CSO in Scotland and WORD in Wales.
The NIHR Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and Public Health Research (PHR) programmes have closed their joint themed call for obesity evaluation research. The Office for the Strategic Co-ordination of Health Research has prioritised obesity for further research and Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives: A cross-government research and surveillance plan for England was published in 2008.
Research proposals within the remit of the HTA or PHR programme will be considered by the relevant programme's Board. Both programmes focus on evaluation, with an interest in cost-effectiveness. The HTA programme evaluates interventions in the NHS and the PHR programme evaluates public health interventions delivered in other settings.
Call closed
This call closed on 20 January 2010. Proposals that are within the remit of the HTA programme will be considered at the Obesity Themed Call Board in May 2010.
