National Prevention Research Institute call for research proposals
The National Prevention Research Initiative (NPRI) was established in 2004 in recognition that chronic disease prevention is a major research priority which must be informed by evidence of successful and cost-effective risk reduction and behaviour intervention.
In this second call for research proposals a total of £3million is available for preventative research.
Research must relate to risk reduction and/or health behaviour - specifically tobacco use, alcohol misuse, diet and/or physical activity, including their relation to weight management and obesity.
The research must aim towards the primary prevention of cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke and/or diabetes. Proposals relating to multiple health behaviours or health outcomes will be received positively, although disease endpoints do not need to be measured or available.
Outline proposals must be submitted to the NPRI by the 20 June 2007.
