Joint Research Office

World-class health research

LHP’s Joint Research Office (JRO) brings together Liverpool Health Partners’ NHS and Universities’ research support functions to facilitate and deliver world-class health research. It acts as a single point of access for investigators and research teams.

The JRO is driven by a dedicated research team that can provide support and guidance for grant applications and works in close collaboration with LHP member organisations and the NIHR Clinical Research Network North West Coast (CRN NWC), NIHR Research Design Service North West (RDS), NIHR Applied Research Collaboration North West Coast (ARC), Liverpool Clinical Trials Centre (LCTC) and Innovation Agency North West Coast (IA).

This service is provided within the wider context of LHP and the extra support the organisation can offer.

  3. Set up of multi centre complex studies – the team supports all aspects of multi centre complex studies including contracting
