The NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN) operates within the hospitals and health care sector to support patient, public, and health and care organisations across England in delivering high-quality research. It coordinates national and local resources through its Coordinating Centre and 15 Local Clinical Research Networks, enabling research across more than 30 medical specialties by funding additional staff, facilities, equipment, and support services. The CRN’s role focuses on helping researchers and life sciences partners plan, set up, and conduct studies within the NHS and broader health and social care environment, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and improvements in care. Based in Leeds, England, the CRN is part of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). It serves a broad audience that includes NHS organisations, researchers, patients, and service users, providing both national and local resources and activities to promote a culture of research activity across the health system. A recent development highlights partnerships and collaborations across the NIHR network aimed at expanding research initiatives and related activities.
