One of the key aims of the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN) is to ensure that everyone across the country has the opportunity to take part in research that might be suitable for them. Through our flexible and multi-disciplinary study support and Agile Research Delivery Team, we can help you deliver research in a wide range of settings.
These include:
GP surgeries
hospices
care homes
sheltered accommodation
schools
community hubs
places of worship
prisons
people’s homes.
Our Funding Model
The new RDN funding model launched in April 2026. It standardises how funding is distributed to NHS Trusts and wider care settings across England. Delivery organisations are being supported by their RRDN teams with full implementation planning, finance advice and supporting materials.
