Restart framework
In May 2020 the NIHR issued its Restart framework, to guide the restarting of NIHR research activities that had been paused due to COVID-19.
In line with government guidance and NIHR recommendations, most non-COVID studies have restarted where it is safe and feasible to do so. Indeed, on 20 January this year the NIHR was pleased to report that 69 percent of both commercial and non-commercial studies that were paused due to the pandemic had restarted.
