How NIHR Can Support Your Clinical Evidence, R&D and Funding
For many early-stage healthtech and biotech companies, navigating the UK clinical research ecosystem can feel complex. The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) offers a wide range of support—from study design and clinical trial delivery to funding opportunities and NHS collaboration.
In this session, the NIHR team will introduce the key programmes and resources available to startups, including how founders can access clinical research infrastructure, develop strong clinical evidence, and apply for non-dilutive funding.
The webinar will cover:
• How NIHR supports early-stage companies developing health innovations
• Pathways to generate clinical evidence and run studies in the NHS
• Key funding schemes available to startups
• Practical advice on engaging with the UK clinical research network
This session is designed specifically for the P4 Precision Medicine Accelerator cohort, with time for questions and discussion.
