Notice Title

ARC / AHSN regional prioritisation programme 21/23

Notice Description

R&D: Evaluation and implementation<br/>support for pandemic response innovations

Lot Information

Lot 1

Research and development (R&D) services which will be provided by the partnership between NIHR Applied Research Collaboratives (ARCs) and the Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) between 1/6/2021 and 31/3/2023.
In 20/21 the Accelerated Access Collaborative team at NHSE/NHSI and the Improvement Directorate led Beneficial Changes Network (BCN) commissioned a rapid review of potential high-impact innovations deployed during the pandemic. Alongside the report, NIHR and the AAC team commissioned a review of completed and ongoing research and evaluation activities which mapped promising innovations to the BCN and NHSE/NHSI regional priorities. This was delivered in March 2021 through an ARC/AHSN partnership.

This 21/22 ARC/AHSN regional prioritisation programme aims to further develop the R&D knowledge of innovations deployed during the pandemic. It will task this ARC/AHSN partnership with delivering:

1. A mapping of completed and ongoing evaluations against NHSE/NHSI regional priorities, confirming these priorities with NHSE/NHSI regional leads, medical directors and key stakeholders

2. A gap analysis, identifying where evidence gaps exist and utilising ARC expertise to generate the required evidence

3. An evidence synthesis, identifying where there is sufficient evidence to scale up deployment of the priority innovations and sharing this information across health and care networks and NHSE/NHSI directorates, to inform strategic planning

4. Implementation scale up and evaluation into health and social care settings of innovations which have proven benefit, utilising the AHSNs expertise in spread and adoption.

The programme utilises an existing route to procure through a 'call off' Future Licence for Agreed Services (FLAfS) against the AHSN Master Services Agreement (MSA) 2018-2023.
