Our Research Priorities

NIHR ARC NWL has four core areas of research, which address local health and care priorities from the first 1000 days into adulthood. We also have three cross-cutting research themes that work across all of our research priorities.

These themes will support us in achieving the aims of the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) programme.

Explore work from each research theme:

Child Population Health
Multimorbidity & Mental Health
Digital Health
Innovation & Evaluation
Information & Intelligence
Patient, Public, Community Engagement & Involvement
Collaborative Learning & Capacity Building

As time passed, we adapted our research to respond to the immediate and longer-term challenges of COVID-19 and the affects of the pandemic. We have also adapted to meet the growing priorities of the NIHR.
