We are delighted to announce that the Tizard Centre and PSSRU at the University of Kent, have been successful if their joint application to be intramural members of the new refreshed NIHR School for Social Care Research. The School for Social Care Research funded by the National Institute for Health Research, formally began work in May 2009. Led by Prof Martin Knapp, with a budget of £15 million over five years, the SSCR was a partnership between six leading academic centres in social care research in England (including the Tizard Centre). The first 5 years of operation will end in April 2014 and the new SSCR will take over in May 2014.
