Health and Care Research Wales launch two new calls for research

Message via IHA
Dear International Huntington Association
Health and Care Research Wales, formerly NISCHR funds NHS, social care and public health research and is essential for delivering our responsibilities in public health and personal social services.
Our role is to develop the research evidence to support decision making by professionals, policy makers and patients. Health and Care Research Wales recently launched two new calls for research:
Health Research Awards and Research for Patient and Public Benefit Wales (RfPPB). Both these calls closed for applications on the 25th March 2015.
The applications are now at the reviewing stage and we would like to ask for your assistance in obtaining PPI reviewers who have experience of Huntington’s disease who feel they will be able to contribute to this very important process. We are seeking patients, service users, carers and the public, including voluntary, charitable and community organisations to add value to these research proposals.
The comments provided by reviewers inform our decision-making process and help us identify the most important topics for research and fund the best applications. We would therefore be grateful if on our behalf you could circulate this email to your members. Anyone you put forward who is interested in becoming a PPI reviewer will be sent a form asking where their areas of interest/expertise lie and they will then be assigned papers which are relevant for them to review.
An honorarium fee would be applicable dependent of the number of pages of the proposal that is reviewed.
Thank you for your assistance.
Please contact [email protected] in the first instance.
