Applications Are Now Open for Research Innovation Grants

Alcohol Research UK is now accepting applications for the Research Innovation Grants 2016/17 programme. The focus of this year's programme is treatment and recovery today. The alcohol services sector and approaches to both treatment and recovery have undergone significant changes in the last few years. There have been reductions in funding and major structural changes and also new developments in approaches to treatment and thinking around recovery. These developments have had a considerable impact on some of the most marginalised and vulnerable members of our community. This year, we will be funding proposals that seek to capture the nature of those changes, and aim to produce findings that can have a positive impact on policy and or practice.

Proposals should address one or more of the following areas:

  • Mental health issues and dual diagnosis
  • Needs assessment and response to demand
  • Pathways through, and barriers to, treatment and recovery
  • Health or social inequalities and access to / experiences of treatment and recovery support
  • Experiences of minority groups or hard-to-reach communities
  • Understanding the ‘active ingredients’ in treatment and recovery
  • The impact of economic pressures / sector restructuring on service provision

Applications must be submitted by November 1st, 2016.
