Current open funding calls for this programme

The RfPB is currently running competition 49 with a deadline of 09 Novemebr 2022 (deadline to notify CRSO of interest is 28 September 2022). 

As a researcher-led programme, RfPB does not specify topics for research but instead encourages proposals for projects that address a wide range of health service issues and challenges.

The programme aims to fund high quality quantitative and qualitative research with a clear trajectory to patient benefit. It particularly encourages applications that have a strong element of interaction with patients and the public and that have been conceived in association with a relevant group of service users.
