The NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) has been replaced by the NIHR Research Support Service (RSS).
In order to provide existing clients with continuity, RDS support for your application can continue, where necessary, to the end of March 2024. If completion of this work is expected to continue beyond this point, we will discuss with you about an appropriate handover to the new RSS.
The RSS offers national support to all researchers working across the remit of the NIHR from pre-application through to post-application phases.
The NIHR Research Design Service has been replaced by the new NIHR Research Support Service. If you are not an existing RDS client and would like support on your research project, please visit the NIHR Research Support Service to find out more.
The Research Design Service (RDS) produces many online resources that aim to support and help Applied Health, Social Care and Public Health researchers apply for research funding. The RDSresources website has been created to provide a central location for these useful resources.
