The Department of Health this morning announced the successful NIHR Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLSHRCs).  The formal press release can be found here.

Thirteen CLAHRCs have been awarded over £120M in total following an open competition earlier this year.  The details of the latter can be found here. Further details on the CLAHRCs and the themes they will concentrate on will appear on NIHR’s website soon.  But here is the list of the CLAHRCs by name and links to local press coverage where I have found it.

Worth reiterating that, as with all NIHR funded schemes, each CLAHRC has a strategy and plan for promoting and advancing public involvement in their work.  But, interesting, 6 of them also have a research theme focusing on public involvement/engagement/experience: NW London; South London; East; Wessex; North West Coast; Oxford.

Congratulations to them all.
