Applications open for NIHR AI Health and Care Award

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has opened applications for the AI Health and Care Award.

The Award is run in partnership with the Accelerated Access Collaborative and NHSX.  It is part of the NHS Artificial Intelligence Lab announced by the Health Secretary in 2019, and will deploy £140 million over three years to accelerate the testing and evaluation of the most promising AI technologies that meet the strategic aims set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.

It supports AI technologies across the spectrum of development to the point when they could be nationally commissioned. Key areas of focus include screening, diagnosis, decision support and system efficiency. Applications may be submitted by an SME, an NHS Trust or serve provider or a Higher Education Institution.

You can find out more about the award and application process on the NIHR website.
