International work

Adopting an international collaborative approach to research is becoming increasingly important to address significant scientific problems.

NIHR Evaluations Trials and Studies (NETS) programmes work at an international level to fund the best research and enhance the reputation of the NIHR, and are willing to consider collaboration with foreign and international agencies.
