We have has signed a joint statement with other major UK research funders, committing to better inclusion of older adults in health and care research ✍️ The statement sets out a shared commitment to actively support the inclusion of older adults in research, challenge unjustified exclusion and ensure that research is designed with equity in mind and better reflects the diversity of the UK. With inclusion being a condition of funding, NIHR wants to see more researchers include older people in their funding applications.
