RSE - ‘Healthy Planet, Healthy People’: Community-led Award
Summary
‘Healthy Planet, Healthy People’: Community-led Awards are designed to support community-led research. Funding will be provided to support new and existing research projects that promote the health of individuals through fostering healthy environments and communities, and enabling access to healthy foods.
They are looking to award ten demonstrator pilot-scale projects led by community-based individuals or organisations, who would each receive an award amount of up to £5,000 to conduct a research project for up to 12 months.
The main themes for the Awards are:
- People: awarded projects may identify neglected voices on particular topics and conduct research on this topic guided by these voices, taking a people-centred approach.
- Problem: awarded projects may address and identify issues through data collection and analysis.
- Practice: awarded projects may propose novel practical solutions to an established problem.
Community is defined as a group of people who share an identity-forming narrative. Research is defined here as the creation of new knowledge, or the use of existing knowledge, to help build practical solutions to targeted challenges.
