Please give additional activity details (i.e., reach, impact, duration, return on investment) We have a program to fund studies to strengthen the evidence base behind evidence synthesis methods. To date, Evidence Synthesis Ireland and Cochrane Ireland have funded 12 SWARs (worth approx €5000 each, exclusive of overheads) to a number of institutions in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Internationally (including Cardiff University, University of Washington, and McMaster). Nine of the SWARs are led by early career researchers, and a number address questions set in the Priority III study.
