NIHR RSS Specialist Centre for Public Health
The NIHR RSS Specialist Centre for Public Health aims to support the generation of high quality research evidence needed to inform decisions about which interventions have the greatest likelihood of improving population health and reducing health inequalities. The Specialist Centre for Public Health delivered by Newcastle University and partners is led by Professor Ashley Adamson.
The team has internationally recognised leadership in the support and conduct of public health research in a range of settings outside the NHS and healthcare. They are experienced in delivering research with Local Authorities, understanding some of the challenges this brings. Specialist centre staff have worked with individuals and research teams to develop and submit research and fellowship applications, helping secure funding for research to improve the health of the public.
