NIHR celebrate 20 years of life changing research

9 January 2026

This year, NIHR is celebrating their 20th anniversary, marking 2 decades of supporting health and care research. Over the past 20 years, NIHR have helped turn research into better care, new treatments and real change for people across the UK and beyond. They have also made a significant investment into public health, with the Specialist Centre for Public Health being funded from 1 October 2023. 

Throughout 2026, we'll be showcasing public health research, reflecting on what has been achieved, and looking ahead to the future.
