Overview

Funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRCs) were collaborative partnerships between the NHS, public services and Universities, focused on improving patient outcomes through:

  • Applied health research
  • Translating research into healthcare practice
  • Increasing the capacity of health services to undertake more applied research and translation in the future

Evidence Based Transformation with the NHS was a research theme which involved more than 30 individual research projects. The aim of all the projects within this theme was to make sure when people receive care, in hospital or in the community, that care is safe and focussed on their needs.

CLAHRCs were first piloted between 2008 and 2013 by the NIHR in nine regions across England. They were so successful that 13 new regional CLAHRCs were funded in 2014 and concluded in September 2019.
