The NIHR Office for Clinical Research Infrastructure (NOCRI) has been set up to help public sector research funders, charities and the life sciences industry work in partnership with National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) infrastructure. NOCRI provides connections to the country's experimental medicine experts who can help companies understand the potential of their developmental drugs, devices and diagnostics, enabling earlier go/no go decisions and translating ideas and discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic. NOCRI also ensures that NIHR-supported Centres, Units, Facilities and Networks can work together to help drive the flow of innovative research for patient benefit.
