Competition Closes
Stroke is a medical emergency requiring rapid diagnosis and hyperacute treatment often followed by complex long-term consequences that need to be tackled at different levels and at different times after onset, often for many years.
Under this Phase 3 Funding Competition, three challenges have been identified via consultation with clinicians and other stakeholders working in the provision of care across the spectrum and review of the James Lind Alliance Stroke Priority Setting Partnership for Stroke Research:
- Early diagnosis
- Rehabilitation
- Life after stroke
Fund details
Emphasis should be placed on how the technology/innovation will address any challenges associated with health inequalities, such as demographic and geographic disparities, and it is expected that applicants provide details on how they will address these e.g. provide details on the care pathway the intervention will affect and how it can improve this.
The competition aims to facilitate the collection of evidence in real-world settings and build on the value proposition required by commissioners and regulators to accelerate the uptake of the innovation into relevant health or social care settings.
The competition is open to any innovation (e.g., medical device, in-vitro diagnostic, digital health solutions and AI solutions, behavioural interventions, and service improvements) that meets the entry criteria and the challenges described in the Challenge brief.
Single organisations (contracts are executed with individual legal entities) based in the UK or EU from the private, public and third sectors, including companies (large corporates and small and medium enterprises), charities, universities, and NHS providers, given a strong commercial strategy is provided, are eligible to apply.
Organisations based outside the UK or EU with innovations in the remit for this call can apply as subcontractors of a lead UK/EU-based organisation or via a UK or EU subsidiary.
Collaborations are encouraged in the form of subcontracted services as appropriate.
The upper funding limit of SBRI Healthcare Phase 3 competitions is £500,000 excluding VAT.
