At the National Institute for Health Research Applied Research Collaboration West (NIHR ARC West), we conduct applied health research with our partners and others in the health and care sector, alongside patients and members of the public. Before 1 October 2019 we were known as NIHR CLAHRC West.

We are funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), the nation's largest funder of health and care research and provides the people, facilities and technology that enables research to thrive.
