Collaborative Doctoral Award in CDP
Health Research Board Structured Population and Health Services Research Education (SPHeRE)
Director: Professor Molly Byrne, National University of Ireland, Galway
Co-Director: Professor Patricia Kearney, University College Cork
This collaborative doctoral award includes six PhD scholars, who are registered in University College Cork (UCC), National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) and University College Dublin (UCD).
The programme focuses on the prevention of chronic disease across the lifespan and across the spectrum from wellness to disease, using the most common chronic diseases in Ireland as the research focus. This programme aims to make graduates future national and international leaders in evidence-based chronic disease prevention research, research implementation and policy development. PhD scholars on this programme complete all SPHeRE modules and other trainings, as well as tailored chronic disease prevention components.
A transdisciplinary consortium, including clinical therapies, health psychology, nursing, medicine, and implementation science is involved in the delivery of the CDP-CDP. The consortium includes national leaders and internationally recognised experts in diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular disease prevention.
