Why review for the NIHR?
Professional development.
Reviewing research briefs, proposals and final reports can be used as evidence of continuing professional development (CPD). Where appropriate, we provide written confirmation of reviewing tasks that have been completed for inclusion in your CPD portfolio. For consultant grade medical reviewers, there is the additional attraction that peer review for NIHR is recognised in Clinical Excellence Award submissions.
Insight into the research funding process
By becoming an NIHR reviewer, you can develop a valuable insight into health research need in the NHS and the standards of successful applications for funding. We only fund research of the highest scientific standard, so you can increase your insight into best practice in health research.
Make a difference
As a reviewer you can make a significant contribution to the NHS and public health by shaping research and improving practice. Our programmes identify the highest impact questions for UK health, so that you know the research you’re reviewing will make a real difference.
