We'd welcome opportunities to partner with you on projects that will address any of our priority research topics.
Our research work
We're always looking to improve the way we work.
To do this we need to stay one step ahead of innovative new health technologies and treatments, policy developments and changes in health and social care delivery.
Our science policy and research programme team produces high-quality, impactful research. This allows us to continually anticipate and adapt to these changes in the health and care system.
As we develop our guidance, we identify gaps and uncertainties in the evidence base. The most important unanswered questions are then developed into research recommendations. On this page you can find a topic of interest, see our research recommendations and see funding opportunities.
We're actively involved in a range of methodological research and other projects. By partnering with us, you'll gain a unique insight into assessing health and social care interventions in the real world. On this page you can view our current and past research and projects and our partnerships.
NICE Listens is a programme of public engagement. It's been developed to give us an understanding of public opinion on moral, ethical and social value issues.
Health Technology Assessment Innovation Laboratory (HTA Lab)
The HTA Lab enables NICE to develop creative solutions to complex problems in health technology assessment. It offers a ‘safe space’ for creating solutions in collaboration with system partners and stakeholders.
Whether you're a researcher, funder, charity or policy organisation, you can partner with us for methodological research. Working with us can ensure your research has real impact on policy makers in the UK and abroad.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) methods, from relatively well-established machine learning approaches to newer and more complex generative AI, offers several potential benefits for NICE, the NHS and wider health and care system.
You can find more information about how we use your personal data under the 'science policy and research' section of our privacy notice.
Methods research areas
Methods research helps us keep improving the methods we use to produce guidance. It also helps us anticipate and adapt to innovative new health technologies and treatments, policy developments and changes in health and social care delivery.
