A Joint Strategy     

The aim of this initiative is to position the cutting-edge Medical and Health-based innovations and research produced across the Midlands at the forefront of the UK. We are striving to create more large-scale collaborative activities across the partnership and with others.

This will be achieved by delivering against the following objectives:

1. To provide co-ordination for the generation of research intensive applications and initiatives which link MIH Universities. These will often involve linking with industry, the NHS and/or local government.

2. To facilitate sharing of resources between MIH Universities, with the aim of furthering collaboration and expanding capabilities.

3. To increasing research and collaboration with Midlands NHS Trusts to co-ordinate patient-based research facilities across the Midlands.

4. To respond as a united voice to consultations and funding opportunities which are targeted at the Midlands region as a whole.
