In the autumn of 2023, the NIHR opened available funding to health and social care researchers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (the Devolved Administrations) as well as England. The Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR) and Programme Development Grants (PDG) funding schemes are excited to welcome applications from the Devolved Administrations (DAs).

In order to reach more interested researchers and answer any questions specific to each DA, the PGfAR and PDG team are hosting a series of in-person outreach events. These will give researchers a chance to hear more about the remit of PGfAR and PDG funding, what makes a competitive application and ask questions. These will be full day events and the afternoon sessions will give researchers the opportunity to have a one-to-one session with a member of the PGfAR committee to discuss their application ideas and receive feedback.

Please note that further details about the event will be sent out closer to the date.
