NIHR Older People and Frailty PRU

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Older People and Frailty Policy Research Unit (PRU) aims to produce timely, high quality evidence for policymakers.

It is a collaboration between the University of Manchester, Newcastle University and the London School of Economics. Our aims are to answer policymakers’ questions and help the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to make informed decisions about the lives of older people.

We carry out research into promoting healthy ageing, the future needs of older people and the provision of high-quality, cost effective care.

The Older People and Frailty Policy Research Unit is funded by the NIHR. We are one of 15 NIHR Policy Research Units currently in operation. You can see a full list on the NIHR website.
