A graphic showing our strategy at a glance.
At the top of the graphic is our vision: "High-quality health and social care research today, which improves everyone’s health and wellbeing tomorrow". Alongside this is our mission: "We make it easier to do research that people can trust".
Below this is our strategic aim: "A health and social care system that stays fit for the future and helps our economy grow".
Sitting underneath our strategic aim are three strategic objectives and a corresponding government objective they help achieve:
- the UK is the easiest place in the world to do excellent health and social care research that people can trust, helping grow the contribution of life sciences to our economy
- turbocharge medical research
- health and social care research is done with and for everyone, meaning that we can all benefit from research findings, helping reduce health inequalities
- millions to take part in clinical trials
- the health and social care research system is streamlined, efficient and encourages and supports success, increasing the impact of investment
- cut administrative costs for business by 25% by the end of the Parliament
Underneath these objects are four things we need to be to achieve these objectives.
Simple
For researchers to find out how to do research with and for everyone and access support to do this well
Fast
To plan, approve, set up, manage and complete research in the UK
Trusted
