Aims and objectives

The NIHR Public Health Review Team is a group of experts commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) to conduct public health evidence reviews. The team will work with the NIHR Public Health Research Programme (PHR) to identify gaps in the current knowledge that can be addressed through future research. This will help the NIHR PHR to develop their research and funding priorities.

The review team includes experts from the Universities of Exeter, Cardiff and Birmingham with different specialisms and skills. The team has an outstanding track record of leading and delivering complex systematic reviews in collaboration with a range of policy, practice and patient partners.
