We have established the Research and Education Committee, a sub-committee of the Health Innovation Manchester Board, which includes senior leadership from across higher education and research infrastructure. Together we are global leaders for health and social care education.

The committee has been set up to:

• provide the strategic leadership of research and its translation, ensuring that Greater Manchester positions itself successfully to attract major research and innovation funding
• ensure there is a constant pipeline of translational research feeding out innovation programmes and subsequent deployment across Greater Manchester
