Our research
We work closely with a broad network of key partners across numerous high-impact initiatives. Working together to directly influence policies locally, nationally and internationally to improve health outcomes and reduce inequalities.
Research Groups
A range of research groups sit within the overarching HIP-R Theme. These groups are producing impactful research benefitting local and global health issues, tackling inequalities, and working to influence policy.
Children’s Health Equity
The Children’s Health Equity research group generates knowledge to inform pro-equity policies to address intergenerational inequity in the UK and globally.
The Healthy Urban Places for Health Equity (HUP-EQ)
The Healthy Urban Places for Health Equity (HUP-EQ) group operates with a focus on understanding how urban places impact health, and how this understanding can be used to improve population health and reduce inequalities.
Data Action Research
The Data Action Research Group (DART) is the HIPR subset of the wider DART group within the Civic Health Innovation Labs (CHIL).
Welfare and Social Policy Evaluation (W-SPER)
The Welfare and Social Policy Evaluation Research group brings together researchers from a diverse range of disciples- including sociology, economics, public health, psychology, political science, epidemiology and law - to robustly evaluate the mental and physical health and inequality impact of changes to welfare and social policy.
Research resources
Tools and materials to support collaboration, knowledge exchange, and evidence-based practice.
Research projects
Our work explores how social policies, economic systems, and local environments shape health and wellbeing across communities. Our projects aim to generate evidence that informs fairer policies and practical solutions to reduce health inequalities in the UK and beyond.
