Applied Research Collaboration North East and North Cumbria

We are a research partnership that brings together the North East and North Cumbria’s six universities,  health and social care providers, voluntary and community organisations, patients, and members of the public.

We are funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and are part of a  network of Applied Research Collaborations (ARCs) across England.

The ARCs work together to support the transformation aims set out in the Government’s 10 Year Health Plan for England, by developing research evidence and driving forward innovations to address some of the UK’s most pressing health and social care challenges.

ARC NENC 2.0 Has Officially Launched!

The ARC NENC formally launched phase 2.0 on 8 October, bringing together partners from across the region to share its vision and priorities for the next five years. We are currently establishing many of the structures, systems and processes that will support the ARC's activities over this period. As these are developed, we look forward to sharing further information about opportunities for Wolfson members to engage and collaborate. Read more about the ARC NENC launch.

 

The ARC NENC vision is to deliver ‘better, fairer health and care at all ages and in all places’, and our work is organised around five research themes.
