The National Centre for Zoonosis Research (NCZR) is a collaborative venture by the University of Liverpool and Lancaster, the Health Protection Agency and the Veterinary Laboratories Agency, established with core funding for three years from the North West Development Agency.
The core of the Centre is physically hosted by the University of Liverpool in a refurbished building at Leahurst, linked to the University's Veterinary School, but is ‘owned’ by a Board consisting of representatives of the various stakeholders (the collaborating Universities, HPA, VLA, other major funders and independent members) and will have staff based at various institutions.
