Celebrate as we turn 1

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Research Support Service (RSS) helps researchers across England to develop competitive applications to many funders, including the NIHR, UKRI and national health and care charities.

We are delighted that many of the applications that we have supported have been successful!

Since our launch in October 2023, we have worked with approximately 400 teams across England to develop their research ideas and funding applications.

Many of these teams have been successful and, collectively, they have secured over £21 million from a range of funders for vital health, public health and social care research.

Congratulations to all those successful teams, including those from within our partnership – you know who you are!
