The Health Foundation is seeking applications for its Advancing Applied Analytics programme that aims to improve analytical capability in support of health and care services.
The programme is looking to support analysts who are working on local innovative and ambitious projects that can demonstrate how they will improve analytical capabilities in support of health and care services and provide lessons for the wider care system.
Types of Projects
This programme is especially interested in projects that address the capability deficiencies identified in the Understanding analytical capability in health care report. For example:
- Better understand and structure the problems faced by managers/clinicians
- Access and understand the evidence and information that can be brought to bear on a problem
- Apply appropriate and robust methods to manipulate information and data
- Communicate findings accurately and clearly.
Grant Information
The programme has set an upper limit for this programme in terms of the length of time for projects and the amount of funding available, which is:
- a maximum award value of £75,000 per project
- a maximum duration of 15 months
- starting no later than October 2018.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Advancing Applied Analytics programme is open to applicants from across the UK.
- The lead organisation must provide, commission, support or deliver health services free at the point of care in primary, secondary or tertiary care, or across boundaries such as health care and social care. If a non-NHS provider of health services, the organisation must be commissioned, or in an authorised position, to provide these services through the appropriate channels across the UK (eg registered with the Care Quality Commission in England). These providers must be able to demonstrate that more than 50% of their work is with NHS-funded or local authority funded patients.
- Please note lead applicants already in receipt of a current award will not be eligible to apply as a lead applicant ie you can only be the lead on one project at any one time. However, an organisation or individual currently in receipt of an Advancing Applied Analytics award may be a partner on another’s application.
