Other ARCs

There are 15 NIHR ARCs in England, conducting applied health research across the NHS and public health, and translating research findings into improved outcomes for people.

Each NIHR ARC is made up of local providers of NHS services, local providers of care services, NHS commissioners, local authorities, universities, private companies and charities. These collaborations work together to conduct high quality, generalisable, applied health and care research that addresses the specific health or care issues in their region.

The 15 ARCs work collaboratively to address national research priorities, with individual ARCs providing national leadership in their areas.
