The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) has no plans to issue any specific commissioned calls for research. The NIHR welcomes applications for funding into any area of health and care research. Research proposals in all areas compete for the funding available. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards based on the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. There are no plans to make a comparative assessment of specific research being undertaken in other countries.
