The range of potential studies eligible for NICRN support will exceed the capacity of the NICRN to undertake those studies, therefore the NICRN does not support automatic eligibility. Instead there is a formal adoption process which ensures that the finite resources of the NICRN are used in a coherent and strategic manner for the benefit of the benefit of Health and Social Care.

The Welsh eligibility criteria include studies where funding is awarded in open competition across Wales and other devolved administrations and is of relevant to NHS and/or social care.
The National Institute for Health and Social Care (NIHSCR) will also consider other high quality peer-reviewed studies deemed to be important in Wales for adoption onto their Portfolio.
The NIHSCR Adoption criteria are available on the NIHSCR website.
