Health Inequalities Innovation Implementation (HI3) Fund

Next deadline: 30 November 2026

Funding is available for projects that embed evidence into primary care practice, improve patient outcomes and demonstrate sustainable improvements to primary care that address health inequalities. The fund is intended to support implementation and service improvement activity rather than ongoing service provision.

Projects should support primary care organisations to implement evidence, adopt innovation and improve services in ways that reduce health inequalities. The fund aims to generate practical learning that can be shared across the Integrated Care System and beyond.

  • Identifying NHS research questions that are relevant to commissioners’ interests.
  • Acting as a conduit between NHS staff with research ideas and the academic community.
  • Developing ideas into grant applications, focusing specifically on National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funded schemes.

Researchers can be seconded for 3-12 months part-time, to be negotiated on successful appointment. The role will be based in the 英国国家医疗服务体系 Gloucestershire ICB and NHS Bristol, North 萨默塞特 and South Gloucestershire ICB 综合护理系统(ICS).
