NIHR School for Public Health Research (SPHR)

Call Launch Date: 08 October 2020

“The renewed SPHR will conduct world-leading research in public health which responds to and meets the needs of local populations, local government, public health bodies and public health practitioners, and which addresses the nation’s changing demographics and priority areas for public health research. The renewed school will aim to continue to strengthen research in public health more broadly, build capacity and fund groundbreaking, internationally relevant research that is key to improving public health policy and practice.

There is a strong emphasis within the application for the renewed school on how the potential members have previously contributed to improvements and changes to public health policy and practice and how they intend to fund and support novel and ambitious research projects, programmes and schemes; as well as developing research capacity and supporting the next generation of future leaders spanning academic and practice research.

From 1 April 2022 and for a five year period, funding of at least £25 million will be available to support the school in these functions for both the research and capacity building contracts that the school will deliver.

Stage 1 deadline for submission: Thursday, 28 January 2021 at 1:00pm

Stage 2 (if selected at Stage 1) – Business plan development May/June 2021″
