The Medical Research Council (MRC) has announced a call for proposals for the Public Health
Intervention Development (PHIND).
Proposals can include qualitative and quantitative primary
research and the development of theory and logic models; however, emphasis
should be placed on developing the intervention.
Examples of the focus of health related,
population-level interventions include:
- transport, education,
employment, leisure and the built environment
- healthcare settings are not
excluded, but projects should demonstrate potential for improvement
- health of general, high risk or
vulnerable populations.
