The Intensive Care Society Research Prioritisation Exercise 2022

The aim of the Society's Research Prioritisation Exercise is to identify and pump-prime a future large UK multicentre clinical trial, with the support and involvement of Society members, our Research Division, SOA delegates, and the wider UK critical care community. 

Research is a collaborative effort, and we strongly encourage groups of investigators (rather than single individuals) to apply for this award to ensure the needed skill mix is available.  We will also prioritise applications where there is a clear career development/leadership opportunity for a developing investigator. 
 
The successful proposal may cover any health problem within critical care and will be awarded up to £50K for development and to be put toward securing a larger external grant.  Shortlisted proposals will receive support and mentoring from the Society's Directors of Research ahead of presentation and judging at State of the Art 2022, where the winning project will be selected.
