<p>The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is funded through the Department
to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research. The NIHR invests
over £1 billion into health and public health research each year and is committed
to “adding value in research” by maximizing the potential impact of research that
it funds for patients and the public. This means ensuring that it answers the right
questions (including effectiveness and cost effectiveness of interventions), delivers
research efficiently and publishes results in full in an accessible and unbiased way.</p><p>
</p><p>Full and open access to the knowledge generated by research is of the utmost
importance to the NIHR. The NIHR commitment to transparency, the NIHR Journals Library,
open access policy, and endorsement of the World Health Organization joint statement
on the disclosure of results ensures that ideas and knowledge derived from publicly
funded research are made available and accessible for public use.</p><p> </p><p>Departmental
business planning, financial forecasting and in-year monitoring processes ensure the
affordability of NIHR funded research.</p>
