Arts and Humanities Research Community & LLHW
Applications will be welcome from multidisciplinary teams in the areas of, but not restricted to, the following:
• Mental health and wellbeing including quality of life, preserving cognitive function and exploiting mental capital
• Resilience for successful ageing: from cell to society including life course influences, markers for ageing and processes of ageing
• Age-related conditions, including frailty and interventions to promote independence in later life
The arts and humanities can make a significant contribution towards the understanding and enrichment of older people’s lives. The LLHW programme gives arts and humanities researchers the opportunity to work with other disciplines to produce multidisciplinary research.
