Research Units

Research Units include Policy Research Units, Academic Units and R&D Support Units. Two new units for a) interpreting diagnostic tests for healthcare and b) monitoring tests in primary care are being commissioned. The Research Units are funded to:
  • Provide research-based expert advice
  • Make sure research in priority areas is on-going
  • Develop and manage patient-focused research in the NHS
Funding is provided for the Units and the research activity the Units carry out.

More information about the current Research and Development Support Units (RDSUs) plus their contact details is available on the
RDSU National Network website.
