Exciting news! 💡We have established a new UK-wide Commercial Research Delivery Centre (CRDC) Network. This will provide national coordination for commercial research delivery.

NIHR Life Sciences Director, Dr Maria Koufali, commented: “This means faster access to innovative treatments for patients, greater investment in the NHS and a stronger life sciences sector that boosts the health and wealth of the nation.”
