The NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme invites applications to enhance timely access to care through the development, clinical validation and/or real-world evidence generation of transformative and disruptive technologies. This funding opportunity, therefore, supports the development of innovative health technologies aimed at reducing waiting times and waiting lists for individuals in need of care, in any setting.
This is a one-stage, commissioned funding opportunity. Funding for this award is uncapped.
See below for additional eligibility criteria relating specifically to this funding opportunity.
Types of eligible innovations include, but are not limited to, medical devices, in vitro diagnostics, NICE classified digital health solutions, software, behavioural interventions and new models of care. Innovations incorporating or employing a game-changing technology (artificial intelligence, quantum sensing, engineering biology, genomics or wearables including smart phones) are particularly welcomed, as well as innovations addressing NHS systemic reforms proposed by the government: analogue to digital; sickness to prevention; hospital to community.
