National Screening Oversight Research and Innovation Group (NSO RIG)

The National Screening Oversight Research and Innovation Group (NSO RIG) aims to strengthen research and innovation across screening programmes in Scotland by facilitating a coordinated approach to approving proposals, fostering collaboration and by monitoring progress on all active research. 

RIG brings together representation from the sector’s key stakeholder groups to ensure future research efforts address the areas of screening that can benefit the most.  

Going forward, all proposals for research should be submitted to RIG for an initial assessment, prior to being submitted for research funding or progressing to other approvals as necessary. 

This is a key change to the research pathway.
