Population and Public Health Early-Career Advisory Group

Its remit covers applications that aim to understand the causes and consequences of health, wellbeing and disease in individuals and populations. It includes a range of disciplines such as (but not limited to) epidemiology, social science, health economics and data science, and includes all study designs (observational sciences, trials or intervention designs), including interventions, if the main purpose is discovery research. 

Examples include:

• understanding health and disease, their determinants, distribution and burden, where this brings new transformative knowledge in a specific context; it includes approaches such as surveillance, design and analytical methods development
• research to understand the biological, behavioural, socioeconomic, physical and ecological causes of health and disease including underlying mechanisms
• methodological developments in public and population health, including study design, data collection and linkages, statistical methods and conceptual frameworks
• research to inform health systems and health policy. 

Members are listed below. Additional experts will join the panel as necessary.
