In the last 5 years Rosalind Raine has been awarded £16M (as PI and co-applicant) in AHR grants from NIHR, MRC, Wellcome Trust and other funders. Her research is of value to policy makers due to its diversity (spans acute & chronic conditions and all NHS settings), representativeness (national datasets,long time periods) and applied nature, allowing direct policy translation.

Her analyses have influenced national inequalities policies, EU policy makers, the Cabinet Office, the GLA, LAs and PCTs. She has held national leadership positions including the National Chair of the Heads of Academic Departments of Public Health (2010-2014). Her commitment to internationally competitive research which makes a major contribution to NHS, patients and the public is demonstrated by her membership of the: REF2014 Sub Panel for Public Health, Health Services Research and Primary Care; MRC Career Development Panels (2005-12); NIHR Programme Grant Experts Panel (2007-12) and the MRC Health Services & Public Health Research Board (2005-8). As National and Regional Chair of the UK Clinical Research Network (CRN) NIHR Health Services Research (HSR) Speciality Group (2009-11), she established networks of applied researchers across London Universities to promote research collaborations.

Nationally she worked with the CRN to achieve more appropriate inclusion of HSR in the CRN. Raine’s effective leadership and commitment to capacity building, led her to being asked to establish and lead the UCL Department of Applied Health Research (2012-). Current grants in the Department total £59.3M (as lead and co-applicants).
