The Health Foundation has launched a new research programme, which seeks to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in two distinct areas. The Foundation is prioritising UK-focused projects that explore:

- how health and social care service delivery has changed in light of COVID-19
- the impact of COVID-19 on health inequalities and the wider determinants of health.

Projects are invited to apply for funding of between £100k–£200k per project for a duration of up to 12 months (including set-up time). The Foundation will fund highly applied research that has direct relevance to policy and practice and welcome applications from multidisciplinary teams combining expertise from a broad range of disciplines.

Applications close 30 September 2020.
