The 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review
In the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review, Government funding for health research increased and almost £1 billion was ring-fenced for the National Institute for Health Research through the Department of Health.
The total funding increase of over £290 million will enable the NIHR and MRC, working together with OSCHR, to deliver a more effective translation of health research into health and economic benefits in the UK.
The additional NIHR funding will support areas including evaluation and trials, public health, research capability, and human capital.
