Tips for Applicants
- ✓This is a development funding round, not impact funding, focus on building the evidence base and intervention prototype, not piloting outcomes.
- ✓Sex and gender analysis must be integral, not added as a methods paragraph; panels scrutinise this explicitly.
- ✓Non-NHS means community settings, charities, local authorities, or policy bodies; clinical service delivery proposals will be rejected at triage.
