About

The MRC-NIHR Trials Methodology Research Partnership (TMRP) brings together a number of national and international networks, institutions and partners undertaking clinical trials and trials methodology research. Our overall aim being to improve patient care by improving the way in which the healthcare evidence base is developed.

Our DTP PhD programme presents a unique opportunity to undertake training and research in major areas where clinical trials need to be improved to help increase the health of society. Projects encompass a variety of subject areas including statistics, mathematics, health economics, epidemiology, psychology, social science, computer science, informatics and health services research.

Our TMRP DTP students are part of a wider student cohort, embedded within an international network of health researchers and clinical trialists. As part of the DTP, our students have the opportunity to join one or more of the eight TMRP Working Groups and have exposure to a wide range of relevant research initiatives.
