Immunity dynamics and epidemiology of cross-reactive pathogens

This funding will be used to develop a five-year programme of activities for secondary schools in areas that have limited engagement with scientific research. The programme will allow school pupils to explore interdisciplinary topics such as epidemiology, public health interventions, data ethics and mathematical modelling. Approaches include interactive class workshops and pupil-led projects, engaging with parents and other people in the community. We will test out new public engagement approaches and generate resources and engagement activities that are relevant to the science curriculum. 

This grant was awarded under the scheme's previous name of Provision for Public Engagement.
