Abstract

This seminar will provide background on the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Collaboration for Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) Greater Manchester, which started in Jan 2014 and followed the previous CLAHRC (2008-2013) which was directed by Professor Bonnie Sibbald from the Centre for Primary Care.

Professor Ruth Boaden, from Manchester Business School, is the Director of ‘CLAHRC 2’. She will talk about the rationale behind NIHR funding for CLAHRCs, the way CLAHRC is structured, its academic, NHS, third sector and industry partners and how it works and fits with other GM research activity and programmes.

The CLAHRC vision is: “to create true and enduring partnerships that deliver high quality research which improves health care and has impact in Greater Manchester and beyond.”

We have four objectives:

• Innovate through research
• Get evidence into practice
• Show the difference it makes
• Develop people and organisations
