Today marks a new chapter in the optimisation and delivery of health and care research in England, with the launch of the National Institute for Health and Care Research's new Research Delivery Network (that’s us!) 👋🏼

We were set up to respond to the changing requirements of health and care research. We’ve taken over from the NIHR Clinical Research Network, and our ambition is to help make the UK a more attractive place to conduct high quality research.

As a unified network, we'll work together to make sure our systems are aligned, and that our talent and resources are deployed nationally, for maximum effect.

Watch this space today to find out more about who we are, what we do, and how we’ll be working to deliver key UK government research priorities!
