Description:

In 2021/22, NIHR piloted a community engagement programme in three local areas across England. The aim of Research Ready Communities is to build relationships with communities that are currently under-served by health and care research, and increase their access to health and care research opportunities.

This report provides a summary of the pilot's activities, impact, and key learnings that can help to improve inclusion for under-served groups in health and care research. The Research Ready Communities programme is now being implemented across England by all 15 Local Clinical Research Networks.
