“BUCRU aims to design, conduct and manage high quality, funded, health-related randomised controlled trials and other well-designed studies within HSS, across University Faculties, with researchers in National Health Service (NHS) Trusts and with national and international collaborators.
It does this by:
- Supporting researchers in improving the quality, quantity and efficiency of research across Bournemouth University and local NHS Trusts.
- Incorporating the Dorset office of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Research Design Service (RDS) to support the methodological development of high quality research grant applications.
- Offering methodological and statistical collaboration for health related research, particularly research of relevance to the NHS and public health.
- Conducting high quality nationally and internationally recognised research in complex interventions (including digital health) and long term conditions. “
