Public Health Research Ideas Launchpads

Get your research ideas off the ground with the Research Support Service

The Research Support Service would like to discuss your research ideas with you. These sessions are for people working in local authorities or in other non-NHS settings who are starting out (or thinking about starting out) in public health research.

What you can expect

You can book an online session with an RSS methodologist and a public health expert to have a friendly, informal discussion about your research area of interest. Your ideas do not need to be well developed at this point. The meeting will last 30-45 minutes.

Our advisors will help you to think about your next steps, which might include:

• How to further explore any ideas you may have (e.g. through literature searching and reviewing)

• How to get some research experience through a placement, an internship, a predoctoral or doctoral fellowship, or other funding application

• Thinking about how to find a supervisor or build a team
