Suggest a research topic
The HTA programme commissions research where there is a gap in the knowledge the NHS has about healthcare treatments and tests. It is driven by the needs of those who use, manage, provide care in or develop policy for the NHS.
Anyone can suggest a research topic for the HTA programme to consider.
Please use our electronic form, which offers help screens to assist you in refining your suggestion.
The HTA programme also identifies research topics in a number of other ways.

What happens next?
Deciding which of the many research suggestions it receives should be given priority is one of the most important tasks facing the HTA programme. It is essential to the success of the programme that research priorities are chosen in a clear and fair way, embracing the latest expertise, knowledge and opinion. Every one of the suggestions received by the HTA programme is considered and the programme is supported in this work by six expert advisory panels.
