UKRI Call for Applications: Public health intervention development (PHIND) – Jan 2022
This call from the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) untitled Public health intervention development (PHIND) – Jan 2022 aims to develop early-stage interventions for the UK or global public health issue. This might include qualitative and quantitative primary research and the development of theory and logic models.
This opportunity supports the incorporation of systems thinking in addressing public health challenges. It is justifiable to focus on just one aspect of a system as long as the wider systems context is recognised, for example, in the framework for evaluation. It also encourages the use of multi-disciplinary teams and co-production with users and other relevant stakeholders, such as policy makers.
The full economic cost of your project can be up to £150,000. MRC will fund 80% of the full economic cost (100% for overseas costs). Your project can last up to 18 months.
Who can apply:
- Any researcher with an employment contract at an eligible research organisation, including MRC institutes and units (including those in Gambia and Uganda), can apply for this funding opportunity.
- International co-investigators can be included if they provide expertise that’s not available in the UK.
- Applicants can also include one or more project partners in their application.
The scope:
Population level interventions, with a focus on non-healthcare settings. Examples of the focus of health-related population level interventions include: transport, education, employment, leisure and the built environment.
For the purposes of this funding opportunity, ‘population’ is defined as groups of individuals for which an intervention may subsequently be delivered and evaluated. For example, this includes:
- organisations such as schools, prisons and workplaces
- settings such as neighbourhoods, communities, regions and countries.
