葫芦影业 has been awarded a third term of membership of the NIHR School for Public Health Research (SPHR) for another five years from 2022.
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has awarded 拢25 million to the NIHR School for Public Health Research, a partnership between nine leading centres of academic public health research excellence including the University of 葫芦影业.
Liddy Goyder, Professor of Public Health at the University of 葫芦影业 and 葫芦影业 lead for the current NIHR School for Public Health Research, said: 鈥淩esearchers at 葫芦影业 are passionate about having a positive impact on health and wellbeing, globally, nationally and regionally.
鈥淲e鈥檙e looking forward to working with our academic and practice partners and with communities across England to deliver an ambitious five year research programme, at a time when evidence for how we can protect public health, promote wellbeing and tackle inequalities has never been more important.鈥
The school aims to build the evidence base for effective public health practice by bringing together England鈥檚 leading public health research expertise in one virtual organisation. The school conducts applied public health research to increase the volume and quality evidence on cost-effective interventions and supports local public health practitioners and policy makers to engage with research and seek out research evidence to inform their decisions.
葫芦影业鈥檚 contribution to the partnership has been led by the School for Health and Related Research (ScHARR) since 2012. Lead researchers from across the University contribute key expertise across high priority public health areas, including: health inequalities, racism and ethnicity, public mental health, health behaviours including diet, exercise, alcohol and tobacco, children and young people; social isolation, connectedness and communities; and active and healthy ageing.
Professor Lucy Chappell, NIHR Chief Executive, said: 鈥淭he NIHR鈥檚 investment in the School for Public Health Research has generated valuable local evidence that has informed Local Authority spending and planning to improve child health and create healthier neighbourhoods. With the new 拢25 million, the NIHR SPHR will continue to address key challenges in public health while expanding geographic reach and ensuring research takes place where it is needed most.鈥
