The provision of a Learning and Evaluation Partner for the Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC)

Local government has been increasingly involved in public health research in recent years. One example of this is the Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). Leicestershire County Council is one of 30 HDRCs that have been funded by the NIHR across the UK.

We require an external and independent evaluator to provide an objective assessment of Leicestershire's HDRC delivery against its aim and advise us on ways of ensuring our success.
