Deadline: 25 July 2019
The Health Foundation’s £1.5m Social and Economic Value of Health in a Place Research Programme 2019 invites researchers to submit ideas for research that will generate new knowledge on the ways in which the physical and mental health of a population shapes their social and economic outcomes.
Social and Economic Value of Health in a Place research programme seeks to understand the extent to which the health of a population (physical and/or mental) shapes the social and economic outcomes of that population.
Economic and social factors have a complex, dynamic and multidirectional relationship with health. While much is known about the impact of social and economic factors on health outcomes, ie the wider determinants of health, relatively little is understood about the impact of health on the social and economic outcomes of individuals and populations.
Priority Areas
The priority areas for this call are:
- Understanding the relationship between a given population’s health and the health of individuals within that population;
- Establishing the definitions and metrics needed to examine the relationship between the health of a population in a place and the social and economic outcomes of that place.
Funding Information
- The foundation will support five projects with funding between £200,000 and £300,000 for a maximum duration of two years.
Eligibility Criteria
- The lead applicant must be from a UK-based organisation. However, they will accept proposals which include collaborations with non-UK based researchers, providing sufficient justification is given for the international collaboration.
- Applicants can collaborate or subcontract, where appropriate, with partner organisations. Please specify what role any partners will have and indicate the current level of progress in developing the collaboration in application.
- They welcome applications from multidisciplinary and multi-site teams with one or more co-principal investigators. However, for the purposes of the outline proposal application form and our award contracting processes, they require to have only one named primary/lead contact. That person must be ultimately responsible for the delivery of the research.
How to Apply
Applicants must complete the Outline proposal application form and submit it via email to the address given on the website.
