Dear colleagues, I sit on the Mental Psychological and Occupational Health panel of the HTA. We have a number of roles in helping research get funded within the HTA system. As it happens, I have been asked to put forward topics for the panel meeting in July. What topics do you think could or should get funded? I cannot guarantee a hearing for any of them, but if you feel able to put forward a topic that is appropriate for the panel please get in touch. I would ask you to think in terms of four initial headings: Patient group Intervention Comparator Outcome I would also appreciate a sentence or two about why the proposed research is important for the NHS. I do not know about the SSCR programme mentioned by Glynis. One further comment: is the rate of failure of ID proposals greater or less than that for other specialties? Does anyone know?
