Welcome

Welcome to the NIHR CLAHRC for Leeds, York and Bradford web site. The CLAHRC brings together researchers from two local universities with staff in the NHS and Social Services to translate research into clinical practice more effectively. This exciting initiative is funded by the National Institute for Health Research and our local partner organisations.

About Us

The CLAHRC is a new initiative designed to ”bridge the gap” between health research and clinical practice. The key aim of the CLAHRCs is to ensure the effective application of research outcomes and to build capacity and capability within the NHS to conduct high quality applied health research.

There are nine CLAHRCs across the country bringing together partners in the NHS, Universities, City Councils and other key organisations to work in partnership to address this translation gap.
