Established in 2008 NETSCC manages evaluation research programmes and activities for the NIHR, and plays an important role in improving the health and wealth of the nation through research. The NIHR, which is funded through the Department of Health (circa £1billion per year) is a large, multi-faceted and nationally distributed organisation. Since its establishment, the NIHR has transformed research in the NHS. It has increased the volume of applied health research for the benefit of patients and the public, driven faster translation of basic science discoveries into tangible benefits for patients and the economy, and developed and supported the people who conduct and contribute to applied health research. The research has a major impact: it is published in the world’s leading journals and it makes measurable differences to people’s lives and the quality of health services. Research programmes
Each of the research programmes issues open calls for research – response mode or researcher-led funding streams. Through the researcher-led funding streams the research community submit proposals for research which they firstly assess for importance to those that plan, deliver or use health, public health or social care services; secondly they assess them for scientific quality and value for money www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/funding/hsdr-researcher-led. Each programme also has a commissioned funding stream. Through the commissioned workstream each programme identifies and prioritises the most important research questions, according to those that plan, deliver or use health, public health or social care services. These priorities are then advertised for the research community to respond to. The subsequent proposals are then assessed in the same way as researcher-led. The commissioned calls for research can be broad, like thematic areas, or highly specific research questions (for example see www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/funding/phr-commissioned and www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/funding/hta-commissioned). Other key activities that NETSCC leads on, or manages, on behalf of the NIHR, are:
