What is being bought
The Addiction Healthcare Goals (AHG) programme, led by the Office for Life Sciences, is aiming to make the UK a place where researchers and industry in addiction healthcare can thrive and partner effectively with NHS and Third Sector treatment providers to design, research and deploy innovative treatments and technologies which effectively tackle the challenges of drug and alcohol addictions, saving and improving the lives of those affected, and reducing the harms to the individual, their family and friends, and wider society. One key area of focus for the AHG programme to fulfil this aim is to grow UK-wide research leadership capacity to develop and deploy innovations. The Department is looking for a supplier that is able to administer a targeted research leadership career development scheme to award funding to individuals to commence or continue training and career development towards becoming national research leaders.
