The University of Leeds has been chosen by the UK government to lead the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Research Delivery Network Coordinating Centre (RDNCC), and will be joined by 12 new Regional Research Delivery Networks (RRDNs), hosted by NHS organisations across the country to form the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN). The new NIHR RDN will operate as one unified organisation across England, balancing regional context, expertise and leadership with national coordination and strategy involving government policymakers. The RDNCC will work across England's health and care system, with staff in all settings, to support the effective and efficient initiation and delivery of research.
The NIHR is funded through the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research. The NIHR is a large, multifaceted and nationally distributed organisation.

The team works closely with NIHR's press office to ensure an integrated approach to news management, and supports NIHR's campaigns team in its efforts to extend NIHR's reach, including into marginalised or under-represented groups and communities. It also collaborates with social media teams in external organisations including the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and NHS Improvement, and the devolved administrations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
