The benefits of working with us

Whether you are a researcher, funder, charity or policy organisation, you can partner with us for methodological research.

As one of the leading health technology assessment agencies, our expertise is unrivalled. Working with us can ensure that your research has real impact on policymakers in the UK and abroad. However, we have limited resources for research and cannot support all proposed projects. We prioritise projects which are aligned to our priority methodological research areas.

We can:

  1. Work actively with you as a co-applicant for research funding (for projects that support our priority methodological research areas).

  2. Sit on an advisory group for your research.

  3. Give you a letter of support.

The process and timings involved will depend on the type of involvement you're requesting.
