Request support

Request support for a research project (England wide)

Thank you for your interest in the NIHR Research Support Service (RSS).

Your request for support will be processed by the RSS Hub and Specialist Centre for Public Health delivered by the University of Southampton and Partners.

Are you eligible for support?

Please check our working agreement for details on eligibility. Please be aware that we cannot provide support for global health projects.

Timelines for support

We will do our best to offer you the most thorough service possible. However, depending on our caseload and how close your submission deadline is (if applicable), we may at times have to put limitations on the services we provide. We have created some guidelines to let you know what level of support you are likely to receive depending on your funding deadline (if known). We are unlikely to be able to offer full support without at least five weeks’ notice.  (Requesting support earlier will allow us to provide more comprehensive advice.) See our timelines here.
