NIHA is a new research centre made of more than 200 researchers from across the University of East Anglia. They will work with the wider community, local government and researchers from the Norwich Research Park on a range of projects to improve health and lives in the region.
Research areas will include nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation, sleep, social activity and medication adherence. Researchers will also look to understand behaviour change and the implications of behaviour on health and wellbeing. Engagement with the wider community and local government will ensure that the research is translated into real change for better local and wider public health.
NIHA is a collaboration between Norwich City Council, UEA Health & Social Care Partners (HSCP), Norfolk County Council, NNUH, John Innes Centre, UEA (led by the Faculty of Medicine and Health), Quadram Institute of Bioscience and the Earlham Institute.
