The Collaborators

The OPTIMA research programme is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Programme Grants for Applied Research (RP-PG-0618-20003) awarded to Professor Sonuga-Barke (Chief Investigator) and colleagues.

The programme is sponsored by King’s College London and The South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM). OPTIMA was developed and delivered by King’s College London and the universities of Nottingham and Southampton.

Parents of children who were on the waiting list in these listed services were invited to take part in OPTIMA. We thank the services for their support.
