We are funded by our partner organisations working across Norfolk, Suffolk and North East Essex to build capacity for collaborative research.

We facilitate effective interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and the public, partnering with the NHS, public health and social care systems, communities, universities, industry, charities, and other research funders to maximise our collective impact.

We provide funding and resources to develop networks and ensure meaningful, sustainable patient and public engagement.

Our partnership is expanding the region’s capacity for high quality collaborative research and innovation to address the most pressing challenges affecting our population health and wellbeing.

Just as patients are at the heart of health and social care services, we believe that citizens should be at the heart of our research.

Through our collaborative partnership with the Citizens Academy, we strive to encourage more people to take part in research as an integral part of everyone’s experience of health and social care services.
