We work with our colleagues across the Research Delivery Network (RDN) to develop and support the people who conduct and contribute to the NIHR RDN Portfolio of studies. 

The courses are aimed at staff who are involved in NIHR portfolio studies (studies that have been adopted by the UK Research Delivery Network).

The RDN provide a comprehensive training programme which is offered free of charge to all staff and public and patient representatives working on or associated with the RDN portfolio of studies.
