The Public Health Research programme will provide active support to ensure that the research projects which it funds are successful in producing high quality results in a timely fashion. Communication will be maintained with research teams by informal contact (email, telephone calls) and regular teleconference and formal reports (at least 6-monthly). Three members of each project team will also be invited to attend a ‘Welcome Meeting’ close to the time the project is due to start.
