CRN Yorkshire and Humber

As the NIHR Clinical Research Network Yorkshire and Humber, we help to increase the opportunities for people to take part in health and social care research and ensure that studies are carried out efficiently. 

About us

Working in partnership with the NHS, universities, local government, other research funders, patients and the public, we deliver and enable world-class research that transforms people's lives, promotes economic growth and advances science.

We operate nationally across England through a national Coordinating Centre and 15 local branches delivering research in the NHS across all disease areas. 

We help to increase the opportunities for people to take part in health and social care research, ensure that studies are carried out efficiently, and support the Government's Strategy for UK Life Sciences by improving the environment for commercial contract clinical research in the NHS in Yorkshire and Humber. 

We are hosted by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The host is responsible for ensuring the effective delivery of research in NHS trusts, primary care organisations, and other health and social care settings throughout the Yorkshire and Humber area.
