The UK Sports Institute,[1] previously known as the English Institute of Sport (EIS), established in May 2002, is an organisation which provides sport science and medical support services to elite athletes through a nationwide network of expertise and facilities, working with Olympic and Paralympic summer and winter sports, as well as English and a number of professional sports.
A grant funded organisation through UK Sport, Olympic and Paralympic sports are able to engage with EIS services through their Programme funding from UK Sport, English sports through their Sport England funding and professional sports through their respective funding bodies.
The UK Sports Institute also works with a range of other sports organisations, including national governing bodies of sport, professional sports teams, and individual athletes.
It is headquartered in Manchester, with regional centers in Bath, Bisham Abbey, Loughborough, London, and Sheffield.
Services are delivered from nine UK Sports Institute High Performance Centres across the country, as well as at a number of additional partner sites.
