NIHR have just announced 4 themed call for their Public Health Research programme that some of your academics may be interested in. These are for generating evidence to inform the delivery of non-NHS interventions intended to improve the health of the public and reduce inequalities in health.
These are 2 stage applications – the deadline for stage 1 is 1pm, 20 March 2018.
The 4 calls are:
17/101 Air pollution: outdoor air quality and health
17/102 Household or community resources: impact on health
17/103 Prevention of unintentional injury in the home in under 5s
17/104 Community-wide interventions for physical activity
There is an event that the RDS NW are holding on 13th October in Lancaster, which would be a good opportunity for anyone interested in applying to these:
