The Environmental Health Research Award
This is an annual award, sponsored by former President Tim Everett.
Course leaders of accredited MScs are invited to submit up to three of their students’ dissertations or projects which they think best meet the following criteria:
- Overall excellence
- Originality and innovation, whether in an educational or regulatory context*
- Outcomes which are most likely to improve public health
- The ability for it to be applied in different settings
- The ability for it to be applied with limited resources
* From public or private sector viewpoints
We will publish entries on this page to stimulate interest in excellent research.
There will be one winner annually, who will receive a cash award of £1000.
The judges of the award are Tim Everett, Lindsay Shaw (Ulster University) and Graeme Mitchell (Liverpool John Moores University)
