What is a Themed Call?
• Increases the volume of high-quality research in line with national health priorities
• Provides new evidence on a theme from several points of view
• Promotes capacity building in key research areas
• Facilitates close collaboration between CCF, NETSCC and TCC
• Offers a unique opportunity to work across NIHR with delivery and management of calls supported by colleagues at:
• INVOLVE
• Research Design Service
• NIHR Comprehensive Clinical Research Networks (CRNs)

• Coordinating centres working seamlessly to deliver and manage the calls on behalf of NIHR
• c.a £23 million committed to dementia research with success acknowledged in the Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia
What have we achieved?
• c.a £23 million committed to surgery research
• Delivered high profile researcher events and a writing workshop
• Recognition from all quarters
• Many new partnerships
What have we achieved?
