NIHR School for Social Care Research secures fourth phase funding
The NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) School for Social Care Research (SSCR) has secured fourth phase funding.
The new funding, up to £31million over 5 years, will enable the NIHR SSCR to continue working to improve adult social care practice by support the School’s core vision to provide better evidence for what works in adult social care and how this can be applied across the country.
Professor Yvonne Birks, Social Policy Research Unit at the University of York and new Director of the NIHR School for Social Care Research, says:
“As a discipline, social care research has come such a distance with unprecedented investment from NIHR and we no longer have to justify the need for investment. Our efforts need to address building capacity for our community of excellent early career researchers and demonstrate real impact.”
NIHR SSCR Phase four brings together six academic centres:
The University of York (lead University)
The University of Birmingham
University of Bristol
A collaboration between the Universities of Leeds and Leeds Beckett
The London School of Economics and Political Science
University of Sheffield
