About Us

The NIHR ARC East of England is a five-year collaboration between Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, and the Universities of Cambridge, East Anglia, Hertfordshire and Essex along with other NHS Trusts, Local Authorities, patient-led organisations, charities, and industry partners across the region.

NIHR Applied Research Collaborations (ARCs) support applied health and care research that responds to, and meets, the needs of local populations and local health and care systems. The NIHR ARC EoE is one of 15 ARCs across England, part of a £135 million investment by the NIHR to improve the health and care of patients and the public.
