As with other major research funders, the NIHR does not ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications for funding are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.</p><p>The NIHR’s support for research into chronic pancreatitis which is currently ongoing or recently concluded (in financial year 2018/19) includes one directly funded study, with a total award of £262,500, investigating the use of antioxidants and magnesium for the treatment of pain in hereditary and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis. In addition, the NIHR funded two studies through its early translational research infrastructure and five through the NIHR Clinical Research Network, which provides support for delivering research funded by the NIHR itself and other public, charity and industry research funders.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 10/06/2019 15:16:49 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

The PCRMP provides general practitioners and primary care professionals with information to counsel asymptomatic men aged 50 and over who ask about prostate specific antigen testing for prostate cancer.</p><p>Further information on the PCRMP is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/prostate-cancer-risk-management-programme-overview" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/prostate-cancer-risk-management-programme-overview</a></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 10/06/2019 13:16:14 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
