The report offers an overview of what we have achieved over the last five years of funding from Health and Care Research Wales.
This year’s report is a bumper edition – it not only highlights our work over the last period of 2024 to 2025 but recaps our work over the funding period of 2020 to 2025. It also offered Professor Simon Murphy a chance to reflect before he stepped down after ten years as DECIPHer Director, passing the baton to Professor Graham Moore for a new phase of Health and Care Research Wales funding. Highlights include:
- DECIPHer involvement in 123 research studies with a value of over £70M during the five-year period.
- A round-up of the major studies conducted during this time.
- Infrastructure grants that we have played a major role in securing for Wales. These include: The Wolfson Centre for Young People’s Mental Health (2020); an NIHR Public Health Intervention Responsive Studies Team (2020); a Health Determinants Research Collaboration (2023); a UK Behavioural Research Leadership Hub (2023); the NIHR Public Health Reviews Team (2024) and a successful joint post with Public Health Wales linking research teams from the partner organisations (2024).
- Reflections on our key collaborations, engagement activities and impacts over the past year and our most important work with policy makers, practitioners and the public.
- Recent successes in developing capacity and the many promotions, awards and students we have been able to support over the years.
- An overview of our international work.
DECIPHer Director, Professor Graham Moore, says: ‘This End of Award Report showcases DECIPHer’s significant achievement over the past five years. These build on 10 previous years as a UKCRC funded centre of excellence, and in turn lay a strong foundation for our next phase of sustainability funding from 2025-30.‘
