Our Name Change
The full names of the NIHR and CRN East of England changed as of Wednesday 6 April 2022. These changes are being managed in a way to minimise the impact on our partners and stakeholders, but here is some useful information on the main changes.
NIHR name change
Although the NIHR acronym is staying the same, the expanded name is now the National Institute for Health and Care Research, acknowledging our expanding work in social care and non-hospital settings.
Our local CRN name change
Locally, we are now called the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network (CRN) East of England.
New local website addresses
Below are the new addresses for our digital platforms.
All old local CRN web addresses will redirect to the new ones for a while but please do start making any relevant changes to your existing listings as of now.
