General Info:	The Policy Research Programme (PRP) is a national programme of research dedicated to providing an effective evidence base for policy-making in the Department of Health. It works alongside other national research programmes and consults when necessary with policy research programmes in the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) whose work is primarily of relevance to the NHS. The PRP budget is currently £33 million per annum of which £5.5 million is ring-fenced for work on CJD. The PRP funds research in three main ways: long term programmes of research in academic units; large-scale initiatives, comprising linked groups of studies, providing a range of perspectives on a key policy area or issue; single projects and literature or scoping reviews.
