NIHR is the health and social care research arm of the nation.
Funded by the public, for the public, we target cutting-edge research where it can make the biggest difference to people’s health and happiness.
On any day, our research could discover a new vaccine that saves thousands of lives and brings billions into our economy. It could make a revolutionary new treatment available and affordable for everyone. Or help people get their independence back.
Together, we drive life-changing research for the health and wealth of the nation.
