NIHR
The Clinical Research Network supports research to make patients, and the NHS, better.
We are part of the National Institute for Health Research - which is the clinical research arm of the National Health Service in England.
We provide the practical support that academic and commercial life-sciences industry researchers need to make studies happen in the NHS, so that more research can take place, and more patients can take part.
This practical support includes:
- Reducing the "red-tape" around setting up a clinical study
- Funding the people and facilities needed to carry out research "on the ground", so research activity does not drain resources
- Helping researchers to identify suitable NHS sites, and recruit patients to take part in research studies
- Advising researchers on how to make their study "work" in the NHS environment
