<p>The Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is committed to
the involvement, engagement and participation of children and young people (CYP) in
all relevant research, supporting researchers and funders, as well as empowering children
and young people to lead their own journey with research.</p><p>The NIHR is working
with NHS England, cancer charities, teenage and young adult cancer patients, and clinicians
towards meeting this NHS Long Term Plan commitment relating to CYP with cancer.</p><p>The
NIHR Clinical Research Network has held two summits. The first summit, held in 2017,
developed a clear strategy. The second summit, held in April this year, focused on
ensuring that the strategy’s objectives were still fit for purpose, and that the right
stakeholders were engaged to ensure successful delivery. The NIHR Clinical Research
Network is now funding a dedicated teenage and young adult cancer research nurse in
each of its 15 Local Clinical Research Networks, with posts made available from 1
April 2019.</p>
