The Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has funded bladder cancer research in these years in National Health Service organisations and higher education institutions. Expenditure through research programmes, research centres and units, and research fellowships is shown in the following table.

2010-11

2011-12

2012-13

2013-14

Total spend by the NIHR on bladder cancer research is higher than this because expenditure by the NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN) on this topic cannot be disaggregated from total CRN expenditure. Studies hosted by the CRN are funded by non-commercial partners including medical research charities and by industry.
