NIHR working with Local Authorities
The NIHR works with local authorities and councils across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to improve the health and well being of the public.
This is achieved by funding public health and social care research, providing and funding training to boost capacity, and by sharing evidence and best practice advice.

NIHR Open Access policy – for publications submitted on or after 1 June 2022
Open access makes published academic research freely, immediately and permanently available online for anyone to read, share and reuse. This maximises the societal, academic, and economic impact of publicly funded research, and enhances the integrity and rigour of research through greater openness and transparency.
The NIHR Open Access policy supports the Government R&D Roadmap and their commitment to adding value in research, one aspect of which is ensuring that research results are published in full in an accessible and unbiased report.
Through the NIHR Journals Library and NIHR Open Research, they enable findings, including negative findings, from all NIHR funded research to be made open access.
