CRRN logoThis page is about the Community Rehabilitation Research Network (CRRN) an NIHR-supported incubator hub that supports health and social care professionals to start out in research or progress their research careers. 

We have compiled resources for clinical academics to help them get started in community rehabilitation-based research projects.

If you are not ready to get your own research ideas started, a good first step can be to get involved with existing research or get inspiration from others, for example from the series of case studies we are compiling. 

For researchers at all levels, we have put together a list of research activities, links to a range of video resources and links to UK research priority lists.

Case studies

Here are some examples of clinical academics from different professional backgrounds who have shared their motivations, challenges, and what they have learned.

Video resources

It can be useful to hear from people working in health and social care about their research, tips and impact that can benefit communities:

UK research priorities

When you are considering your research ideas, it can be useful to understand where they fit within current research priorities that have been identified by specialist research organisations. 

Discipline specific research priorities 
National research priorities

Some of these organisations may also be potential funders once you have developed and refined your research proposal. However, it is important to target funding that is appropriate to your level of research so there is further advice on where to get funding support and guidance in the funding section.
