The NIHR School for Social Care Research has an overall aim to develop the evidence base for adult social care practice in England by commissioning and conducting world class research. The NIHR SSCR uses a broad and inclusive description of adult social care, encompassing the wide range of care and support that is available to and used by adults; the diversity of services and service providers of adult social care; and care and support provided through informal care, self care and self-funded care.
