The Community Rehabilitation Research Network (CRRN) supports community-based health and social care professionals to understand how to bring their rehabilitation research ideas to fruition.
We are an inclusive, UK national, multidisciplinary group and support researchers from all backgrounds and with any level of experience.
If you are looking for guidance to develop a research project related to community rehabilitation, we have compiled development resources for community rehabilitation professionals who want to grow research ideas and progress research careers. We hope this will help to advance your research journey and support your research career.
The CRRN is an NIHR-supported Incubator that was formed in 2024 and is based at City St George’s, University of London.

Objectives
- To identify and bring together a diverse range of health and social care practitioners, particularly from underrepresented professions and groups*, to pursue clinical academic careers in community rehabilitation research.
- To co-design and promote a sustainable national community of practice that links our members with key partners and stakeholders in community rehabilitation.
- To inspire and develop research knowledge, skills, and confidence in those currently working or aspiring to work in community rehabilitation to engage in research design, delivery, and knowledge mobilization of research findings and to increase applications and success rates for NIHR awards at various levels.
The CRRN objectives to help build research capacity in the area of community rehabilitation were developed in an application to the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) incubator initiative. The objectives were then agreed by the CRRN steering committee.
