NIHR Translational Research Collaborations
The NIHR Translational Research Collaborations (TRCs), are ready-formed networks of leading universities, NHS trusts and other research centres from across the UK.
Each TRC has a specific therapeutic theme and focuses on early phase, translational research with the overall objective of tackling experimental medicine challenges in that therapeutic area.
