Welcome to the NIHR Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
NIHR Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRCs) were established during 2008 to undertake high quality applied health research focused on the needs of patients and to support the translation of research evidence into practice in the NHS.
The CLAHRC for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is one of nine pilot CLAHRCs nationally funded by the Natonal Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and is a collaborative partnership between the University of Cambridge and a consortium of NHS and Social Service organisations; these are the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust that acts as host to the CLAHRC, NHS Cambridgeshire, NHS Peterborough, Cambridgeshire County Council and the Strategic Health Authority. The University component includes the Department of Psychiatry, the Institute of Public Health, the Judge Business School and the Engineering Design Centre. The CLAHRC for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough has a particular focus on mental health and illness over the life course.
