NIHR’s i4i Product Development Awards (PDA) NICE early use funding opportunity launched last week.
Outline applications are welcome for the awards aimed at generating real world evidence for products that have been recommended for early use in the NHS through NICE early use assessment (previously known as early value assessment).
This is a two-stage funding opportunity. To apply for the first stage you should submit an outline application. If invited to the second stage, you will then need to complete a full application.
Applicants should read the guidance carefully before applying to ensure eligibility. If you have any queries about whether your proposal is eligible for i4i PDA NICE early use funding, please send an email with specific questions to the i4i programme team at i4i@nihr.ac.uk.
Closing date: 1pm, 27th May 2026
