Networks and collaborating groups
We have established and lead a number of large-scale networks and special interest groups that bring together a combination of senior academics, key stakeholders in policy and practice, and early career researchers.
Between 2023 and 2025 we will additionally be establishing four international collaborating groups for each of our programme areas (epidemiology, behavioural science, clinical trials and implementation science, and complexity science) to advance research further and faster by developing collaborative research bids, building global policy influence, and sharing findings, methods and approaches. The networks and partnerships we house are:
