RSS Hub Leicester and Partners: Research strengths and areas of expertise
We support research across the full breadth of specialisms, designs, and funders. We particularly welcome projects involving under-researched/under-represented communities, fields, or sectors (e.g. nursing and midwifery, allied health professions, rural communities, or minority groups) and projects that align with the areas of strength and areas of interest of our advisers (see below).

- Health consequences of climate and environmental change
- Injury risk and prevention
- Health and care service quality, safety, and improvement
- Healthy ageing and the care of older people
- Use of routinely collected health and care data in research
- Air pollution and environmental noise
- Health technology adoption and diffusion
- Diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions
