National Institute for Health Research

Opening soon – i4i Future Product Development Stream 1 (FPD1) – Feasibility study

The NIHR will shortly open the 5th FPD1 call. This fund seeks proposals of up to 12 months to investigate first whether a piece of prior basic research or an innovative use of an existing technology could provide a solution to an existing or emerging healthcare need, and to identify the barriers that would need to be overcome before implementation. There must be a potential for any device based on the technology investigated to be developed

through further applied R&D. These projects should be academic or clinician led. Funding to a total of £100k is available.

For further information please visit www.nihr-ccf.org.uk where details of new calls are issued for all streams of the programme every 3-4 months.

For details on any of the above calls please contact Mark Littlewood, Mark.littlewood@sensorsktn
