We ' re looking for applications from our partner organisations for up to £25,000 for ambitious projects that deliver collaborative health and social care research for the benefit of our region.

This call aims to grow further research collaboration across our partnership and to cultivate an environment for mutual research innovation.

We will continue to provide support across a wide array of research and innovation, but our strategically important research themes are critical to the people of our region and will be our primary focus.

They are: 1. Young people ’ s mental health 2. Health ageing 3. Living with long-term conditions
