Congratulations to all of our members who have been recognised for their contribution to medical research by the NIHR!

One hundred of the most outstanding leaders of patient- and people-based research have been appointed as Senior Investigators to reward those who lead the way in health and social care research. The 100 Senior Investigators were selected from NIHR Investigators through an open competition overseen by an international peer-review panel. They were assessed on the international excellence and volume of their research, the importance of their research in the short-to-medium term to patients and/or the public, and the impact of their research in improvements in healthcare and public health.

Professor Sally C. Davies, Director General of Research and Development, at the Department of Health said: "The NIHR wants to support and encourage the people who are leading clinical and applied health research that is of direct relevance to the needs of the people of this country".

The research led by the NIHR Senior Investigators targets significant health issues which affect large numbers of the UK population. These include cancer, mental health, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
