Dear Rameses colleagues, I think this UK EPSRC call would make an interesting consortium bid for realist researchers in Healthcare Impact together with systems engineers/computer scientists. Either to develop extended solutions within the grand challenge areas https://epsrc.ukri.org/research/ourportfolio/themes/healthcaretechnologies/strategy/grandchallenges/ - that build on previous projects - or to evaluate existing interventions / projects. I would be interested in contributing expertise on connected devices (IoT), sensors and systems implementation that enable a novel approach to the realist evaluation of impact. I’m familiar with Realist Evaluation too as that was the basis of my PhD. If anyone is interested, please do get in touch.

This call is a follow-up to calls in 2013, 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17. A budget of up to £5 million will be available to support 5-7 projects that progress previous EPSRC-funded research towards generating impact in healthcare.
