This round of HRB funding includes 29 projects across three themes – patient-orientated research, population health research, and health service research.
€412 thousand has been allocated to Professor Andrew Smyth, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the School of Medicine at UG.
He’s leading a project to examine the benefits and harms of a higher potassium intake – and how it’s linked with health, cognitive and physical function, and mortality.
Meanwhile, a further €408 thousand has been awarded to Dr. Sinead Lydon, a behavioural psychologist at the School of Medicine.
She’s leading a data collection project that aims to empower patients to play a more active role in ensuring safe care in hospitals.
