OUR MISSION

Turning evidence into meaningful change
 

CIRE provides research, evaluation and consultancy services that help organisations understand their communities, strengthen their services and turn evidence into action.

We work across health, social care, the third sector, government and academia, helping organisations generate meaningful insights, improve services and make evidence-informed decisions.
 

Research that responds to real-world needs

We bring together research expertise, evaluation, evidence synthesis and behavioural science to understand what works, why it works and how it can be improved. Our work spans qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods research, programme evaluation, evidence reviews and community-based research.
 

Working with communities and stakeholders

We believe the best research and improvement work is grounded in the experiences and expertise of the people it is intended to benefit.

We work collaboratively with communities, patients, service users, practitioners and other stakeholders, using meaningful engagement and co-production to ensure that research and solutions reflect real-world needs and priorities.
 

From evidence to action

Our goal is not simply to generate evidence, but to help organisations use it.

We support organisations to translate research and insight into practical strategies that improve health, social care and community outcomes, strengthen services and help reduce inequalities.
