The overarching aim of the Definitive Interventions and Feasibility Awards (DIFA) is to deliver tangible benefits to patients, peoples’ health and health services through the support of studies evaluating a full scale, definitive intervention of any appropriate design to provide high-quality evidence on the efficacy, effectiveness, cost and broad impact of the intervention. To achieve a pipeline of such studies, both definitive interventions and feasibility studies conducted in preparation for future definitive intervention, are supported. The DIFA scheme also supports the conduct of trial methodology research (SWATs) within the context of proposed interventions.

Update: The HRB Secondary Data Analysis Projects (SDAP) 2021 call is currently open. The deadline for submission was extended by one week to consider the implications of recent cyberattacks on HSE and related systems. We wish to confirm that the call deadline remains as 13:00 Friday 4th June, and applicants should plan on this basis. We appreciate and regret the fact that a small number of applicant teams may not make this deadline due to the direct and indirect impacts of the cyberattack and we can confirm that there will be further rounds of SDAP that will issue as part of the HRB Strategy (2021-2025).
Lead applicants and Host Institutions are being informed of this confirmed deadline.
