The NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) North East and North Cumbria has been awarded funding for five years, starting on 1 April 2026.

Research Fellows will support the ARC NENC in joining national research networks to deliver impactful research and knowledge mobilisation activities with partners across the health and care system.

Our five new research themes are:

• Prevention including multiple long-term conditions
• Addressing inequity in health and care systems
• Supporting children, women, and family health
• Workforce inclusion and innovation for impact
• Care improvement and safety
