Extending working lives: call for Research Consortia
The extending working lives of the UK workforce poses new challenges for employees, employers and policy makers. The cross-Research Council Lifelong Health and Wellbeing (LLHW) programme is offering the following coordinated package of funding opportunities aimed at informing strategies and investigating critical issues that will better prepare the UK for an ageing workforce:
Interdisciplinary Research Consortia bringing together existing UK academic expertise to understand the determinants of working later in life and the relationship between work, health and wellbeing of older workers. Outline proposals are invited in the following areas:
- Determinants of working later in life
- Work, health and wellbeing
This activity is subject to a separate cross council call which can be found on the Economic and Social Research Council website.
- Research Partnership Awards comprising partnerships of academics and public/private employers or stakeholders addressing research challenges and employer needs associated with an ageing workforce, within a workplace or policy setting (call available on the MRC website).
