HRCI Impact

At HRCI, we champion our members’ interests to enhance the health research environment in Ireland and empower them to realise our shared vision of improving lives through impactful research. To achieve our vision, we support our members in their public and patient involvement (PPI) activities, as well as many other aspects of research and offer them the potential for matched research funding through the Joint Funding Scheme. We also run the Irish Health Research Forum, bringing together all stakeholders to improve health research in Ireland. Our members invest up to €20 million per annum in cutting edge research to improve outcomes for service users and their communities. We constantly consider and assess the impact of our work and below we share some examples of how we are making a difference.
