<p>The NHS Long Term Plan is a 10-year strategy for the National Health Service. It
sets out how the NHS will spend the £33.9 billion cash terms annual increase going
into the NHS budget by 2023/24. Research on health and social care continues to be
funded by the Government through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
The future of budgets outside of the NHS England resource settlement will be confirmed
later this year at Spending Review 2019.</p><p>The NIHR welcomes funding applications
for research into any aspect of human health, including chronic pancreatitis. 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><br>
The NIHR’s funding and 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,
there has been NIHR support for two studies through its early translational research
infrastructure and five through the NIHR’s Clinical Research Network, which provides
support for delivering research funded by the NIHR itself and other public, charity
and industry research funders.</p><p> </p>
