The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is the British government's major funder of clinical, public health, social care and translational research.[3] With a budget of over £1.2 billion in 2020–21,[4] its mission is to "improve the health and wealth of the nation through research".[5] The NIHR was established in 2006 under the government's Best Research for Best Health strategy, and is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care. As a research funder and research partner of the NHS, public health and social care, the NIHR complements the work of the Medical Research Council.[5] NIHR focuses on translational research (translating discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic), clinical research and applied health and social care research.[5][6]
