A group of nine people stand with their backs to the camera at an NIHR Biomedical Research Centre event, wearing matching blue NIHR t-shirts and linking arms across each other's shoulders and waists. Several participants wear novelty glasses or headbands with large googly eyes attached, reflecting the eye research theme. Exhibition stands and research displays are visible in the background of the indoor venue. Inside a darkened tent, two people stand on either side of a large projection screen displaying an upside-down image of buildings. The installation demonstrates a camera obscura effect, with light entering the enclosed space to project the outdoor scene onto the screen. The tent walls and roof frame the dimly lit exhibit, creating a striking contrast between shadow and projected light. An exhibitor sits behind a Moorfields eye research display table at a public engagement event in a library. The table is covered with eye models, vision-testing devices, novelty glasses, and educational materials about eye health and research. In the background, visitors explore interactive activities at NIHR Biomedical Research Centre stands, with bookshelves and information displays visible throughout the venue.

D-SUPPORT-ME is mentioned here:

but it doesn't start until next year.

I can't find the Leicester PAIS platform trial anywhere. Frith seems to have quoted the NIHR award summary rather than trial itself.
