Is there a maximum length of time allowed for a research project?
There are no fixed limits on the duration of projects or funding and proposals should be tailored to fully address the problem (including long-term follow-up if necessary). Applicants should consider that there is a pressing need within the NHS for this research, and so the duration of the research must be timely. Applicants should balance the pressing need for the information with the need to follow up participants for long enough to measure important outcomes.
