The NHMRC-NIHR collaborative research grant scheme supports Australian participation and collaboration in leading international collaborative research through the UK’s NIHR Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme. The HTA Programme funds independent research about the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of healthcare treatments and tests.

- 19/41 Clozapine for children and young people with treatment resistant schizophrenia
