As the research arm of the NHS, more than 25,000 people are engaged in leading NIHR research or belong to our facilities, networks or coordinating centres.
The NIHR funds many different roles across the whole research pathway. We fund training for healthcare professionals so they can pursue their research ideas, the investigators that lead on research projects and the research nurses on the ground that deliver research - and just about everyone in between!
