Plymouth University Secures £5M to Combat Cornwall Health Disparities

The University of Plymouth is part of a £5million research collaboration that will help improve people's health and wellbeing in Cornwall.
Cornwall Council has been awarded £4.96m by the National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) to fund a Health Determinant Research Collaboration (HRDC) in the county.
Running over a five-year period, the HDRC aims to build capacity in the Council and its partners to accelerate research and develop innovative solutions to promoting health and well-being in the county.
The Cornwall HDRC is one of 11 announced by the NIHR, adding to 13 established last year - including one in Plymouth, in which the University is also a partner.
It will also build on research already being carried out through the University's Centre for Coastal Communities and Centre for Health Technology.
