The Foundation’s objectives are to offer grants to fund research into identifying and evaluating solutions with the potential to improve health outcomes at a population-level as well as reducing health inequalities.

The funding will be for the following areas:

• - achieving sustained behaviour changes in relation to smoking, diet, physical activity and alcohol consumption
• - facilitating wellbeing and preventing mental ill health
• - improve patient decision-making through, for example, shared decision-making interventions
• - improving the design of community health activities by using new technologies to cost-effectively organise and interpret health outcome data
