Health Foundation – Improving Young People’s Health

This year the Health Foundation is beginning to implement a long-term strategy to improve people’s health in the UK.

Applications for research are invited to further the understanding of factors that shape young people’s future health prospects, as part of a Health Foundation inquiry on the topic.

The project requires a research partner with a track record of high quality policy and practice research in the field of young people (specifically between the ages of 12 and 24 years old and transitions to adulthood).

The aim is to produce a quantitative picture of the factors that contribute to today’s young people having healthy lives, now and in the future, and recommendations for the actions necessary to improve future health prospects.

Bids of up to £180,000 for research completed over 18 months are invited.

There will be an information call on Wednesday 17 May 2017, further details are available on the Health Foundation website.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday 5 June 2017

The Health Foundation – Scaling Up Improvement

The Health Foundation – Scaling Up Improvement

Do you have a health care intervention or approach that has been proven to deliver better care?

  • Are you ready to deliver your intervention or approach at scale?
  • We’re looking for teams with approaches or interventions that have been successfully tested at a small scale, shown to improve care and are now ready to be implemented more widely.
  • Apply now to receive up to £500,000 funding to support the implementation and evaluation of your project.

 

Scaling Up Improvement supports teams to take successful health care interventions or approaches and deliver them at scale, to improve health care in the UK. The Health Foundation will support up to seven projects that aim to scale and spread tested interventions or approaches to improve the delivery of healthcare services. Projects must be able to make improvements at scale at care pathway, health board, clinical network, organisational, regional or national levels. Your project should result in direct impact on patient outcomes within the timescale of the programme.

Due to the range of skills and experience required to deliver an improvement project of this scale, it is expected that a number of organisations will need to work together in partnership to deliver a successful project.

To apply read the information below and complete the screening tool to check your eligibility.

NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) Programme Event

Tuesday 1 November 2016 12.00 – 4.00pm at the Berrick Saul Building, University of York, a networking lunch will be provided.

I4i is a translational funding scheme that supports preclinical and clinical development of innovative medical technologies. I4i aims to ‘de-risk’ early stage projects with strong potential for commercialisation and use in the NHS and make them attractive to follow-on funders/investors.

This is an opportunity to hear from the Director of the i4i programme, Martin Hunt, exactly what makes a strong and fundable bid. Advisers from the Research Design Service Yorkshire and the Humber will also be available to give informal advice.

The event will cover:

  • An overview of the i4i programme
  • Practicalities of applying
  • What the funding panel look for in applications
  • Examples of successful and current i4i research
  • Researcher experience of applying for i4i
  • Role of the NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) in supporting i4i applicants
  • Public involvement in research
  • Role of the RDS in supporting other NIHR and national peer reviewed funding streams
