Internal Feasibility Tools

The NIHR provide us with a number of different measures of data useful for feasibility purposes via the Online Data Platform (ODP). This section details three examples of how ODP can be a useful tool in order to source and provide feasibility data for researchers exploring the potential of delivery in our area.

If you require assistance utilising any of the ODP apps detailed below, please don't hesitate to contact either the ROST team via email at rost.crnwestmidlands@nihr.ac.uk or our CRN WM ODP expert Ian Thomas at ian.thomas@nihr.ac.uk
