Why is this important?
NIHR BRCs are a key part of the translational research landscape in the UK. Acknowledging NIHR support helps raise the profile of BRCs, ensures NIHR support is transparent to all and helps NIHR to track the impact of its research, enabling it to evidence the value of research funding.
A statement should be incorporated within the acknowledgements of publications and other disseminations of research results following studies undertaken at the BRC.
