Health Inequalities Research Initiative: Call 2

https://www.nihr.ac.uk/funding-and-support/funding-opportunities/health-inequalities-research-initiative-call-2/10861

Budget: £250K to £750K per project for up to 36 months, they anticipate funding up to 10 projects.

These are to undertake health inequalities research to support policy makers in the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in the following areas:

1. Assessing how to improve existing population wide policies that are aimed at improving health outcomes so they also reduce socio-economic health inequalities
2. Identifying which existing health system interventions specifically designed to reduce socio-economic health inequalities are effective and cost-effective
3. Assessing the effectiveness in reducing health inequalities of whole system approaches to improving the health of deprived communities
4. Identifying opportunities and risks presented by advancements in digital technology, and practical measures to ensure such technology does not exacerbate socio-economic health inequalities

N.B. The focus of this call is on existing interventions, and is not requesting research to develop new interventions to reduce health inequalities.

Please note that this is the last of two calls.

Capability to start promptly will be an advantage.
