New NIHR Policy Research Unit in Reproductive Health
29 August 2023
UCL has been awarded funding worth an estimated £20m for Policy Research Units by the National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) to support research into health issues including early cancer diagnosis, mental and reproductive health.
The new Reproductive Health PRU will be co-directed by Dr Jennifer Hall and Professor Judith Stephenson (both UCL Institute for Women’s Health). Covering all aspects of the reproductive lifecourse, including menopause, contraception, infertility and urogynaecology, this PRU has a focus on addressing health inequalities and working in a co-produced way with people the work impacts. It is a collaboration with the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford and Warwick, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Hywel Dda University Health Board. Read: UCL news
