Outcomes
- Increased visibility of the lifestyle network at the University of Glasgow and recognition of Glasgow’s leadership in this area.
- Increased funding portfolio in this area including large multi-funder schemes such as National Prevention Research Initiative, cross-disciplinary funding such as joint EPSRC-MRC, funded contracts to conduct research for external partners such as British Cycling, funding from external partners to work collaboratively developing interventions, with evaluation funding from sources such as NIHR Public Health Research.
- Development of potential impact cases - these will be realised by the clear pipeline from mechanisms to intervention development, trials, working closely with policy makers, and evaluating implemented interventions in collaboration with them.
