NIHR Research Support Service (RSS)

The NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) has been replaced by the NIHR Research Support Service (RSS).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.
